摘要
Herbaspirillum camelliae WT00C is a gram-negative endophyte isolated from the tea plant. It has an intact selenate metabolism pathway but poor selenate tolerability. In this study, microbiological properties of the strain WT00C were examined and compared with other three strains CT00C, NCT00C and NT00C, which were obtained respectively from four, six and eight rounds of 24-h exposures to 200 mM selenate. The selenate tolerability and the ability to generate red elemental selenium (Se0) and selenoproteins in H. camelliae WT00C has significantly improved by the forced evolution via 4–6 rounds of multiple exposures a high concentration of selenate. The original strain WT00C grew in 200 mM selenate with the lag phase of 12 h and 400 mM selenate with the lag phase of 60 h, whereas the strains CT00C and NCT00C grew in 800 mM selenate and showed a relatively short lag phase when they grew in 50–400 mM selenate. Besides selenate tolerance, the strains CT00C and NCT00C significantly improved the biosynthesis of red elemental selenium (Se 0 ) and selenoproteins. Two strains exhibited more than 30% selenium conversion efficiency and 40% selenoprotein biosynthesis, compared to the original strain WT00C. These characteristics of the strains CT00C and NCT00C make them applicable in pharmaceuticals and feed industries. The strain NT00C obtained from eight rounds of 24-h exposures to 200 mM selenate was unable to grow in ≥ 400 mM selenate. Its selenium conversion efficiency and selenoprotein biosynthesis were similar to the strain WT00C, indicating that too many exposures may cause gene inactivation of some critical enzymes involving selenate metabolism and antioxidative stress. In addition, bacterial cells underwent obviously physiological and morphological changes, including gene activity, cell enlargement and surface-roughness alterations during the process of multiple exposures to high concentrations of selenate.
