This research will seek to isolate and cultivate fungi ,1 anaerobic bacteria from a variety of aquatic environ- ,<>aU> which ere able to grow in the presence of polychlorinated i; hcnyls and degrade the polychlorinated biphenyls. After , .-h cultures have been established, the rate and mode of ;chlorinated biphenyl degradation by these cultures will .examined, both in vitro and in situ. I THODOCTJQN This 6tudy i6 proposed to investigate the role of fungi *:.l anaerobic bacteria in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) ,-i.idution. Because of their low solubility in water, high t|4'0Jtic gravity, and high adsorbability, PCBs in aquatic mvironments tend to accumulate in reducing or anaerobic iMiticnts of lakes, rivers, estuaries and coastal zones Evidence available to date indicates that microbial t-gr adation may be a mechanism by which PCBs are eliminated tiva the environment (1,5,7,8,10,11,13). PCB resistant or deluding bacteria have been found to be ubiquitously distri cted in the natural environment (11). ''Thus far, degradation studies have centered on aerobic bAClcrial activity, and are not applicable, directly, to PCBs .found in reducing or anaerobic sediments. Little information is available on the role of fungi. 1 HONS 01262* SPECIFIC^AIMS 1. To isolate and cultivate fungi and anaerobic bacteria from a variety of freshwater, estuarine and marine environments which are able to grow in the presence of PCBs (Aroclor 1016 and Aroclor 1254) and to investigate their ability to degrade the PCBs. Initially, this will be done with mixed cultures; studies will be done with pure cultures as they are purified. 2. To determine the rate and mode of PCB degradation by the fungi and by the anaerobic bacteria in vitro; first with PCBs serving as the sole carbon source, and second with PCBs amended with alternate carbon sources and alternate inorganic energy sources. 3. To determine the rate and mode of PCB degradation by Hn the fungi and by the anaerobic bacteria in situ: natural deposits (with or without added PCBs) will subsequently o. it* J be inoculated^with a specific fungal or anaerobic bacterial culture, and the change in PCB content examined after incubation over pre-determined time intervals. Fungi and anaerobic bacteria will be adde^to^terilized sediments and non-storilized sediments jji sj iTrr to investi gate the ability of the inoculated organisms to degrade PCBs under as natural conditions as possible. ' METHODS 1. Procedures for Specific Aim 1: Sediments for the isola tion of fungi and anaerobic bacteria will be collected from 2 HONS 012625 ' representative sites in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. These samples will be collected by the principal investigator or by requests of colleagues at other institutions, physical and chemical aspects of the environment at the time of sampling (e.g., salinity, depth, pH, Eh, water temperature) will be recorded when possible. Immediately upon collection, the sediment will be transferred to duplicate 6ets of glass bottles which will be almost filled with filtered water and sealed with serum caps. One set will be gassed with nitrogen to maintain or to establish reducing conditions necessary for anaerobes; the other will be maintained aerobic for fungal Isolation. Both sets of samples will be used for subsequent isolation of PCB degraders by enrichment culture. Enrichment cultures for anaerobic bacteria will be set up by adding 1-2 g of sediment to a 250 mi flask containing 100 ml of an organic medium (thioglycollate medium) made with distilled water or water of appropriate salinity and pH for estuarine and marine samples. Techniques for anaerobic cultures as described by Bryant (2) will be strictly followed. Cultures will be incubated for three days to two weeks at 26C) intermittently, culture flasks will be shaken by hand. Isolation will be carried out in a second flask which contains 10Q mt of a mineral salt solution adjusted to the desired salinity! (NH4)2S04, 1 g; KH2P04, 0.2 g; K2HP04, 1.6 g;' NgS04-7U20, 0.2 gi NaCl, 01. g; FeS04`7H20, 0.01 g; CaCl2*2ll20, 0.02 g (pll 7.5) containing 0.05% of the appropriate PCB. Following standard anaerobic techniques, 1 mt of the enrich- .. 3 MONS 012626 went culture will be transferred to this second medium and incubated as before until substantial growth is observed. Such cultures will be maintained in duplicate or triplicate. One series will be incubated in the light and one in the dark to enable the growth of phototrophic bacteria as well as strict chemotrophs and heterotrophs. Enrichment cultures for fungi will be started in Sabouraud dextrose agar (Difco) made to the desired salinity and' incubated under aerobic conditions. After initial growth, 1 mi of the enrichment culture will be transferred to the PCBmineral salts medium (described above) but amended with 1 mi of a trace elements solution per liter. The trace elements solution contains 0.1 g H^BO^, 0.05 g each of CuSO^-5 HjO, MnSOj'HjO, 2nS04*7 HjO, Na2MoC>4, and CoClj'6 HjO per liter. After incubation for predetermined time intervals (4 days to 1 month), aliquots of the incubated samples will be examined by high performance liquid chromatographic techniques, or they will be transferred to separatory funnels and extracted with hexane for gas chromatographic analysis. Gas chromato grams will be run with 1-5 vi aliquot6 of the hexane extracts. Initially, only the disappearance of certain BOB homologs from the mixed culture systems will be measured. If the PCBs disappear or decrease in quantity, degradation products will be looked for, perhaps using thin-layer chromatographic techniques and with **C-labclled PCBs. Mixed cultures will be purified by plating onto mineral salts agar plates containing 0.05t PCBs; degradation studies will be conducted with the resultant pure cultures. 4 MONS 012627 2. Procedures for Specific Aim 2: Once the respective Microbial systems capable of growth on PCBs are obtained, the kinetics of PCB degradation will be followed by analyzing the frCBs in the growth medium at different time intervals. The cells will be harvested by centrifugation and washed twice with 0.5 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The washed cells will be injected into culture tubes containing the mineral salts medium and PCB. The procedures employed will be similar to those described by Halvorson et al. (6), who used resting suspensions of bacteria harvested from a sewage lagoon to examine the degradation of mixtures of pesticides. Comparisons will be made of gas chromatograms of PCBs before and after incubation with test organisms and with non-inoculated PCB controls over the pre-determined time interval. Metabolites and residual PCBs will be characterized by the use of column and thin-layer chromatographic techniques of Stalling and Huckins (12), and Furukawa and Matsumura (5). 3. Procedures for Specific Aim 3: In situ studies will be conducted with natural sediments whose PCB content will have been determined previously. Sediments will be autoclaved to kill indigenous microbial flora.. Depending on the test organ isms to be used in the test (fungi or anaerobic bacteria), the test conditions of the sediment will either be made anaerobic or left aerobic. The specific organism for the PCB degrada tion experiments will be inoculated into the sediments, and the rest of the experiment will be run as in Procedure for Specific Aim 2 to determine PCB degradation. A second variation of the S HONS 012628 In Bitu study involves the inoculation of the test isolates into non-sterilised sediment of known PCB content along with all of its Indigenous flora and fauna; this is designed to test the ability of the isolated PCB degreder6 to function and compete with other organisms under natural conditions. PCB degradation will be assessed as per Procedure for Specific Aim 2. 4. The research tasks will be performed in the following sequence, assuming a beginning date of June 1, 1979: June 1, 1979 - May 31, 1980: Specific Aim 1. June 1, 1980 - May 31, 1981: Specific Aim 2.
