Abstract
A new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading Gram-negative bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. achromogenes strain NY4 was isolated from coking wastewater sludge. Strain NY4 could not grow on1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, hexadecane or hexanol as sole carbon source but phenanthrene. This strain was able to utilize several known microbial metabolites of PAHs, including catechol, protocatechuic acid, salicylic acid, and phenol as sole carbon source. The mixture of the acidic and neutral fraction, acidic fraction alone and neutral fraction alone of phenanthrene metabolites were prepared and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of at least 27 metabolites were identified as the degradation products of phenanthrene by strain NY4. Among them, 1-hydroxy-α-oxo-2-naphthaleneacetic acid, 2-hydroxy-α-oxo-1-naphthaleneacetic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(1-hydroxy-2-naphthalenyl)-ethanone, 1,2-dihydro naphtha [2,1-b] furan-2-ol and 2,3-dihydro naphtha [1,2-b] furan-2-ol have not been reported as the metabolites of phenanthrenes s...
