Clover root exudates favor novosphingobium sp. HR1a establishment in the rhizosphere and promote phenanthrene rhizoremediation

Rhizoremediation is based on the ability of microorganisms to metabolize nutrients from plant root exudates and, thereby, to cometabolize or even mineralize toxic environmental contaminants. Novosphingobium sp. HR1a is a bacterial strain able to degrade a wide variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocar...

description Rhizoremediation is based on the ability of microorganisms to metabolize nutrients from plant root exudates and, thereby, to cometabolize or even mineralize toxic environmental contaminants. Novosphingobium sp. HR1a is a bacterial strain able to degrade a wide variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Here, we have demonstrated that the number of CFU in microcosms vegetated with clover was almost 2 orders of magnitude higher than that in nonvegetated microcosms or microcosms vegetated with rye-grass or grass. Strain HR1a was able to eliminate 92% of the phenanthrene in the microcosms with clover after 9 days. We have studied the molecular basis of the interaction between strain HR1a and clover by phenomic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses. By measuring the relative concentrations of several metabolites exudated by clover both in the presence and in the absence of the bacteria, we identified some compounds that were probably consumed in the rhizosphere; the transcriptomic analyses confirmed the expression of genes involved in the catabolism of these compounds. By using a transcriptional fusion of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) to the promoter of the gene encoding the dioxygenase involved in the degradation of PAHs, we have demonstrated that this gene is induced at higher levels in clover microcosms than in nonvegetated microcosms. Therefore, the positive interaction between clover and Novosphingobium sp. HR1a during rhizoremediation is a result of the bacterial utilization of different carbon and nitrogen sources released during seedling development and the capacity of clover exudates to induce the PAH degradation pathway. IMPORTANCE The success of an eco-friendly and cost-effective strategy for soil decontamination is conditioned by the understanding of the ecology of plant-microorganism interactions. Although many studies have been published about the bacterial metabolic capacities in the rhizosphere and about rhizoremediation of contaminants, there are fewer studies dealing with the integration of bacterial metabolic capacities in the rhizosphere during PAH bioremediation, and some aspects still remain controversial. Some authors have postulated that the presence of easily metabolizable carbon sources in root exudates might repress the expression of genes required for contaminant degradation, while others found that specific rhizosphere compounds can induce such genes. Novosphingobium sp. HR1a, which is our model organism, has two characteristics desirable in bacteria for use in remediation: its ubiquity and the capacity to degrade a wide variety of contaminants. We have demonstrated that this bacterium consumes several rhizospheric compounds without repression of the genes required for the mineralization of PAHs. In fact, some compounds even induced their expression.
