Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are diverse pollutants of significant environmental concerns, requiring effective biodegradation. This study used different bioinformatics tools to conduct whole-genome sequencing of two novel bacterial strains, Klebsiella michiganensis EF4 and K. oxytoca ETN19, to improve our understanding of their many genomic functions and degradation pathways of phenanthrene and pyrene. After 28 days of cultivation, strain EF4 degraded approximately 80% and 60% of phenanthrene and pyrene, respectively. However, their combinations (EF4 +ETN19) showed tremendous phenanthrene degradation efficiency, supposed to be at the first-level kinetic model with a t1/2 value of approximately 6 days. In addition, the two bacterial genomes contained carbohydrate-active enzymes and secondary metabolites biosynthetic gene clusters associated with PAHs degradation. The two genomes contained the bZIP superfamily of transcription factors, primarily the cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), which could regulate the expression of several PAHs degradation genes and enzymes. Interestingly, the two genomes were found to uniquely degrade phenanthrene through a putative pathway that catabolizes 2-carboxybenzalpyruvate into the TCA cycle. An operon containing multicomponent proteins, including a novel gene (JYK05_14550) that could initiate the beginning step of phenanthrene and pyrene degradation, was found in the EF4 genome. However, the degradation pathway of ETN19 showed that the yhfP gene encoding putative quinone oxidoreductase was associated with phenanthrene and pyrene catabolic processes. Furthermore, the significant expression of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and quinone oxidoreductase genes in EF4 +ETN19 and ETN19 following the quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis confirmed the ability of the bacteria combination to degrade pyrene and phenanthrene effectively. These findings present new insight into the possible co-metabolism of the two bacterial species in the rapid biodegradation of phenanthrene and pyrene in soil environments.
