The critical roles of propanethiol oxidoreductase and sulfide-quinone oxidoreductase in the propanethiol catabolism pathway in < em > Pseudomonas putida < /em > S-1

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2024 Jan 9:e0195923. doi: 10.1128/aem.01959-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work investigated the PT catabolism pathway in Pseudomonas putida S-1, a microorganism capable of utilizing PT as the sole carbon source. Critical genes that control the initiation of PT degradation were identified and characterized, such as pto and sqor. By increasing the transcription level of pto and sqor genes in vivo, we have successfully enhanced the PT degradation efficiency and growth rate of P. putida S-1. This work does not only reveal a unique PT degradation pathway but also highlights the potential of enhancing the microbial desulfurization process in the bioremediation of thiol-contaminated environment.PMID:38193681 | DOI:10.1128/aem.01959-23
