RESUMO
Shewanella xiamenensis G5-03 was observed to decolorize the azo dye Congo red in synthetic wastewater. The influence of some factors on the dye decolorization efficiency was evaluated. The optimal decolorization conditions were temperature 30-35 °C, pH 10.0, incubation time 10 h, and static condition. The kinetic of Congo red decolorization fitted to the MichaelisMenten model (Vmax = 111.11 mg L-¹ h-¹ and Km = 448.3 mg L-¹). The bacterium was also able to degrade benzidine, a product of azo bond breakage of the Congo red, which contributed to reduce the phytotoxicity. The ability of S. xiamenensis G5-03 for simultaneous decolorization and degradation of Congo red shows its potential application for the biological treatment of wastewaters containing azo dyes.
Shewanella xiamenensis G5-03 foi capaz de descolorir o corante azo vermelho Congo em água residuária sintética. A influência de alguns fatores na eficiência da descoloração do corante foi avaliada. As condições ótimas de descoloração foram temperatura de 30-35 °C, pH 10,0 e condições estáticas. A cinética de descoloração do vermelho Congo se ajustou ao modelo de MichaelisMenten (Vmax = 111,11 mg L-¹ h-¹ and Km = 448,3 mg L-¹). A bactéria também foi capaz de degradar a benzidina, um produto da quebra da ligação azo do vermelho Congo, o que contribuiu para a redução da fitotoxicidade. A habilidade da S. xiamenensis G5-03 em simultaneamente descolorir e degradar o vermelho Congo demostra seu potencial de aplicação no tratamento de águas residuárias contendo corantes azo.

The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms explaining the multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype found in a novel clinical Shewanella sp. strain (Shew256) recovered from a diabetic patient. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing was performed using Illumina MiSeq-I and Nextera XT DNA library. De novo assembly was performed with SPAdes. RAST Server was used to predict the open-reading frames and the predictions were confirmed using BLAST. Further genomic analysis was carried out using average nucleotide identity (ANI), ACT (Artemis), OrthoMCL, ARG-ANNOT, ISfinder, PHAST, tRNAscan-SE, plasmidSPAdes, PlasmidFinder and MAUVE. PCR and plasmid extraction were also performed. Genomic analysis revealed a total of 456 predicted genes unique to Shew256 compared with other Shewanella genomes. Moreover, the presence of different resistance genes, including blaPER-2, was found. A complex class 1 integron containing the ISCR1 gene, disrupted by two putative transposase genes, was identified. Furthermore, other resistance genes, a transposon containing aph(3'), insertion sequences, phages and non-coding RNAs were also found. In conclusion, evidence of acquisition of resistance genes and mobile elements that could explain the MDR phenotype were observed. This Shewanella sp. represents a prime example of how antibiotic resistance determinants can be acquired by uncommon pathogens.

Shewanella sp. G5, a psychrotolerant marine bacterium, has a cold-shock protein (CspA) and three ß-glucosidases, two of which were classified in the glycosyl hydrolase families 1 and 3 and are encoded by bgl-A and bgl genes, respectively. Shewanella sp. G5 was cultured on Luria-Bertani (LB) and Mineral Medium Brunner (MMB) media with glucose and cellobiose at various temperatures and pH 6 and 8. Relative quantification of the expression levels of all three genes was studied by real-time PCR with the comparative Ct method (2(-ΔΔCt)) using the gyrB housekeeping gene as a normalizer. Results showed that the genes had remarkably different genetic expression levels under the conditions evaluated, with increased expression of all genes obtained on MMB with cellobiose at 30 °C. Specific growth rate and specific ß-glucosidase activity were also determined for all the culture conditions. Shewanella sp. G5 was able to grow on both media at 4 °C, showing the maximum specific growth rate on LB with cellobiose at 37 °C. The specific ß-glucosidase activity obtained on MMB with cellobiose at 30 °C was 25 to 50 % higher than for all other conditions. At pH 8, relative activity was 34, 60, and 63 % higher at 30 °C than at 10 °C, with three peaks at 10, 25, and 37 °C on both media. Enzyme activity increased by 61 and 47 % in the presence of Ca(2+) and by 24 and 31 % in the presence of Mg(2+) on LB and MMB at 30 °C, respectively, but it was totally inhibited by Hg(2+), Cu(2+), and EDTA. Moreover, this activity was slightly decreased by SDS, Zn(2+), and DTT, all at 5 mM. Ethanol (14 % v/v) and glucose (100 mM) also reduced the activity by 63 and 60 %, respectively.

beta -Glucosidase is a highly desired glycosidase, especially for hydrolysis of glycoconjugated precursors in musts and wines for the release of active aromatic compounds. A Shewanella sp. G5 strain was isolated from the intestinal content of benthonic organism (Munida subrrugosa) from different coastal areas of the Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego (Argentina). This marine bacterium was able to grow at a temperature range between 4 to 20 degrees C using different beta-glycoside substrates, such as cellobiose, as carbon source. In this work, the Shewanella sp. G5 strain exhibited high beta-glucosidase activity on plate at low temperature (4 and 20 degrees C). Two genes encoding different cold-active beta-glucosidases were amplified and sequenced and the nucleotide sequences were submitted to the GenBank. 16S rDNA and gyrB gene sequences were used for the molecular characterization of Shewanella sp. G5.
