Isolation, identification, and characterization of a novel, oil-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa T1.
A novel, oil-degrading bacterium (strain T1) was isolated from a hot spring in Hokkaido, Japan. It efficiently degrades different types of fats and oils, including edible oil waste. When grown in a mineral salt medium containing 1% triacylglycerol (as salad oil), hydrolysis products were 1,3- and 1,2-diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerol, and free fatty acid. However, these products were almost completely consumed during cultivation at 30 degrees C for 5 days, indicating that extracellular lipase acts randomly at different sn-positions of acylglycerols and that strain T1 has a high capacity to utilize free fatty acids. Secreted lipase activity was induced by salad oil and oleic acid. This strain was a Gram-negative straight rod shaped, aerobic, with a polar flagellum, capable of growing in temperature ranges between 15 degrees C and 55 degrees C. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization revealed it as a new strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The type strain was T1.
