Abstract

Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12 is a 4-chlobiphenyl(4CB)-degrading bacterium that was reidentified from Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. The genomic DNA was isolated from the strain DJ-12 and amplified by PCR with primers for cloning pcbABCD genes responsible for degradation of 4CB. The amino acid sequences deduced from the nucleotide sequences of pcbA1, pcbA2, pcbA3, pcbA4, pcbB, pcbC2, and pcbD2 genes showed 91, 87, 99, 87, 97, 90 and 87% homologies with those of Pseudomonas sp. KKS102, respectively. The pcbC1D1 genes that are involved in the degradation of (4-chloro)1,2-dihydroxybiphenyl produced from 4CB by pcbAB gene products were previously reported in the recombinant plasmid pCU1 from Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. However, the pcbC2D2 genes in the plasmid pCT4 and pCT5 cloned from Comamonas sp. DJ-12 in this study showed 51 and 62% homologies with those of pcbC1D1 in their nucleotide sequences. The pcbC1D1 and pcbC2D2 genes were found by Southern hybridization to be located at different loci on the chromosome of DJ-12 strain. These results indicate that Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12 has two different sets of pcbCD genes responsible for deg-radation of (4-chloro)1,2-dihydroxybiphenyl.

4-chlorobiphenyl (4CB)의 분해균주인 Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12의 16S rDNA의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12로 재분류 되었다. Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12로부터 4CB의 분해결과 생성되는 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl을 계속 분해하는데 관여하는 pcbC1Dl 유전자를 이미 보고된 바 있다. 이번 연구에서는 Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12로부터 4CB 분해에 관여하는 pcbABC2D2 유전자를 클로닝하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. PcbAB 및 pcbCD 유전자들의 염기서열은 48, 65%, 추정 아미노산 서열은 33, 42%의 낮은 유사도를 보였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 pcbC2D2 유전자는 이미 보고만 pcbCIDl 유전자와 염기의 개수와 서열의 유사도가 서로 다름을 보여 주었다. Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12의 두 가지 pcbCD유전자들은 Southern hybridization 결과에서도 유사성을 보이지 않았으며, 서로 다른 위치에 존재함을 보여주었다. 그러나 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl의 분해 특성은 동일하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12 균주가 2조의 pcbCD 유전자를 가지고 있다는 것을 의미하는 것이다.
