Abstract

Nonylphenol (NP) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant of major concern due to its toxicity to hydrobionts, animals, and humans. Moreover, NP is known as an endocrine disruptor. The aim of this study is to isolate from bottom sediments sampled in the southern Gulf of Finland (the Baltic Sea) and identify a highly-efficient NP-degrading bacterial strain and to analyze its NP-degrading capacity at different levels of temperature, initial pH, dissolved oxygen concentrations, and initial NP content. The isolated strain F8 was identified by phenotypic traits using standard methods and by Sanger sequencing of a fragment of the 16S rRNA gene sequence (rrs). NP content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The novel NP-degrading bacterium Raoultella planticola F8 was isolated from the bottom sediments sampled in the Gulf of Finland. R. planticola F8 isolate was deposited in the Russian Collection of Agricultural Microorganisms (RCAM), All-Russia Research Institute for Agricultural Microbiology, as the strain RCAM 05450. The rrs sequence of the F8 isolate was deposited in the GenBank database (No. OL831016). This strain is highly efficient for NP degradation in aerobic conditions at different NP concentrations (up to 900 mg·L−1), in the temperature range of +5…+35 °C, the initial pH range of 5–9, and the dissolved oxygen concentration range of 0.8–2.46 mg·L−1. This is the first study to demonstrate the ability of R. planticola to degrade NP. Results of this investigation provide useful information for R. planticola F8 application in bioremediation processes.
