Biochemical and Metabolomic Responses of Antarctic Bacterium <i>Planococcus</i> sp. O5 Induced by Copper Ion

Heavy metal pollution in the Antarctic has gone beyond our imagination. Copper toxicity is a selective pressure on <i>Planococcus</i> sp. O5. We observed relatively broad tolerance in the polar bacterium. The heavy metal resistance pattern is Pb<sup>2+</sup> > Cu<sup>...

description Heavy metal pollution in the Antarctic has gone beyond our imagination. Copper toxicity is a selective pressure on <i>Planococcus</i> sp. O5. We observed relatively broad tolerance in the polar bacterium. The heavy metal resistance pattern is Pb<sup>2+</sup> > Cu<sup>2+</sup> > Cd<sup>2+</sup> > Hg<sup>2+</sup> > Zn<sup>2+</sup>. In the study, we combined biochemical and metabolomics approaches to investigate the Cu<sup>2+</sup> adaptation mechanisms of the Antarctic bacterium. Biochemical analysis revealed that copper treatment elevated the activity of antioxidants and enzymes, maintaining the bacterial redox state balance and normal cell division and growth. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated that fatty acids, amino acids, and carbohydrates played dominant roles in copper stress adaptation. The findings suggested that the adaptive mechanisms of strain O5 to copper stress included protein synthesis and repair, accumulation of organic permeable substances, up-regulation of energy metabolism, and the formation of fatty acids.
