In this study, a novel TC-degrading bacterium, Sphingobacterium sp. WM1, was successfully isolated from activated sludge. The strain exhibited a remarkable performance in degrading TC and genomic analysis uncovered the presence of three functional tetX genes. Transcriptome and proteomics analysis revealed the molecular mechanisms involved in TC degradation, with the upregulation of transmembrane transport and accelerated electron transport playing key roles. The potent TC degradation capacity of strain WM1 shows promise for enhancing TC clean-up strategies.
As an emerging pollutant, the antibiotic tetracycline (TC) has been consistently detected in wastewater and activated sludge. Biodegradation represents a potentially crucial pathway to dissipate TC contamination. However, few efficient TC-degrading bacteria have been isolated and a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying TC degradation is still lacking. In this study, a novel TC-degrading bacterium, designated as Sphingobacterium sp. WM1, was successfully isolated from activated sludge. Strain WM1 exhibited a remarkable performance in degrading 50 mg/L TC within 1 day under co-metabolic conditions. Genomic analysis of the strain WM1 unveiled the presence of three functional tetX genes. Unraveling the complex molecular mechanisms, transcriptome analysis highlighted the role of upregulated transmembrane transport and acceler-ated electron transport in facilitating TC degradation. Proteomics confirmed the up-regulation of proteins involved in cellular biosynthesis/metabolism and ribosomal processes. Crucially, the tetX gene-encoding protein showed a significant upregulation, indicating its role in TC degradation. Heterologous expression of the tetX gene resulted in TC dissipation from an initial 51.9 mg/L to 4.2 mg/L within 24 h. The degradation pathway encompassed TC hydroxylation, transforming into TP461 and subsequent metabolites, which effectively depleted TC's inhibitory activity. Notably, the tetX genes in strain WM1 showed limited potential for horizontal gene transfer. Collectively, strain WM1 & PRIME;s potent TC degradation capacity signals a promise for enhancing TC clean-up strategies.
