Genomic and transcriptomic analyses provide new insights into the allelochemical degradation preference of a novel Acinetobacter strain

A novel n-alkane- and phenolic acid-degrading Acinetobacter strain (designated C16S1T) was isolated from rhizosphere soil. The strain was identified as a novel species named Acinetobacter suaedae sp. nov. using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain C16S1T showed preferential degradation of three compounds: p-hydroxybenzoate (PHBA) > ferulic acid (FA) > n-hexadecane. In a medium containing two or three of these allelochemicals, coexisting n-hexadecane and PHBA accelerated each other's degradation and that of FA. FA typically hindered the degradation of n-hexadecane but accelerated PHBA degradation. The upregulated expression of n-hexadecane- and PHBA-degrading genes induced, by their related substrates, was mutually enhanced by coexisting PHBA or n-hexadecane; in contrast, expression of both gene types was reduced by FA. Coexisting PHBA or n-hexadecane enhanced the upregulation of FA-degrading genes induced by FA. The expressions of degrading genes affected by coexisting chemicals coincided with the observed degradation efficiencies. Iron shortage limited the degradation efficiency of all three compounds and changed the degradation preference of Acinetobacter. The present study demonstrated that the biodegradability of the chemicals, the effects of coexisting chemicals on the expression of degrading genes and the strain's growth, the shortage of essential elements, and the toxicity of the chemicals were the four major factors affecting the removal rates of the coexisting allelochemicals.
