Phylogenetic analysis of Rieske dioxygenases large subunits genes in soil contaminated with jet fuel
Ptáček, Jakub ; Bořek Dohalská, Lucie (advisor) ; Poljaková, Jitka (referee)
The former military air-base Hradcany is among the most contaminated with organic pollutants localities in Czech Republic. Main cleanup strategy in the area is the bioremediation taking advantage on the natural potential of the autochthonous soil microorganisms to evolve catabolic pathways for in situ degradation of the pollutant. The diversity and abundance of the pathways, as well as the specificity and activity of the encoded enzymes are priority biotic factors determining the bioremediation efficiency. Main task of this work was to analyze the bacterial diversity in jet fuel contaminated soils based on key catabolic genes encoding the Rieske non-haem iron dioxygenases of the toluene/ biphenyl oxygenase branch. High molecular soil DNA was extracted and the sequences encoding catabolic genes were selectively enriched by hybridization to biotinylated oligonucleotides on magnetic microbeads with covalently bound streptavidin. Fragments of the genes for the -subunits of Rieske non-haem iron oxygenases were amplified and analyzed by restriction analysis, cloning and sequencing. Their evolutionary histories were inferred using the Neighbour-Joining and the maximum likelihood methods. The catabolic genes diversity in the actively bioremediated and highly polluted soil HRB was compared with the diversity in the...
