Abstract

In this study 28 bacterial strains, isolated fromgreenwaters-polluted-soil, were investigated for their abilityto grow in presence of phenols added to Mineral BasalMedium (MBM) in aerobic conditions. In particular, threeof them were found to be able to use as sole carbon sourcephenol, cathecol, caffeic acid and ferulic acid with efficiencyranging from 76% (phenol in 5 days, millimolarconcentration from 3.7 10-2 to 9 10-3) to 95% (ferulic acidin 2 days millimolar concentration from 6.8 10-1 to 310-2). For these strains the taxonomic position was studiedby amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Theisolated strains were classified belonging to Arthrobactersulfureus, Pseudomonas synxantha and Pseudomonasoryzihabitans. Noteworthy, for the first time such Pseudomonasstrains have been shown to be able to use polyphenolsas the only carbon source in vitro. In fact, to thebest of our knowledge, this kind of study were not done onPs. Synxantha, while it was recently shown the ability ofP. oryzihabitans to degrade catechol. These findings mayopen to new biotechnological applications for the degradationof polyphenols.
