Characterization and Genomic Analysis of the Naphthalene-Degrading <i>Delftia tsuruhatensis</i> ULwDis3 Isolated from Seawater

Strains of the genus <i>Delftia</i> are poorly studied microorganisms. In this work, the complete genome of the naphthalene-degrading <i>Delftia tsuruhatensis</i> strain ULwDis3 isolated from seawater of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea was assembled. For the first time,...

description Strains of the genus <i>Delftia</i> are poorly studied microorganisms. In this work, the complete genome of the naphthalene-degrading <i>Delftia tsuruhatensis</i> strain ULwDis3 isolated from seawater of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea was assembled. For the first time, genes encoding naphthalene cleavage pathways via salicylate and gentisate were identified in a strain of the genus <i>Delftia</i>. The genes are part of one operon (<i>nag</i> genes). Three open reading frames (ORFs) were found in the genome of <i>D. tsuruhatensis</i> strain ULwDis3 that encode gentisate 1.2-dioxygenase. One of the ORFs is part of the <i>nag</i> operon. The physiological and biochemical characteristics of the strain ULwDis3 when cultured in mineral medium with naphthalene as the sole source of carbon and energy were also studied. It was found that after 22 h of growth, the strain stopped consuming naphthalene, and at the same time, naphthalene 1.2-dioxygenase and salicylate 5-hydroxylase activities were not detected. Later, a decrease in the number of living cells and the death of the culture were observed. Gentisate 1.2-dioxygenase activity was detected from the time of gentisate formation until culture death.
