Direct Black G (DBG) is a typical toxic azo dye with extensive applications but it poses a serious threat to the aquatic ecosystem and humans. It is necessary to efficiently and safely remove DBG from environments by the application of various treatment technologies. A thermophilic microflora previously isolated from the soil can effectively metabolize DBG. However, the molecular basis of DBG degradation by this thermophilic microflora remains unknown. In this study, metagenomic sequencing technology and qRT-PCR have been used to elucidate the functional potential of genes and their modes of action on DBG. A quantitative metaproteomic method was further utilized to identify the relative functional proteins involved. Subsequently, the possible co-metabolic molecular mechanisms of DBG degradation by candidate genes and functional proteins of the thermophilic microflora were illustrated. The combination of metagenomics and metaproteomics to investigate the degradation of DBG by a microflora was reported for the first time in recent literature; this can further provide a deep insight into the molecular degradation mechanism of dye pollutants by natural microflora.
