Metabolism of Propane, n-propylamine, and Propionate by Hydrocarbon-Utilizing Bacteria' W. T. BLEVINS AND J. J. PERRY Department of Microbiology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolira Received for publication 1 March 1972 Studies were conducted on the oxidation and assimilation of various threecarbon compounds by a gram-positive rod isolated from soil and designated strain R-22. This organism can utilize propane, propionate, or n-propylamine as sole source of carbon and energy. Respiration rates, enzyme assays, and "CO2 incorporation experiments suggest that propane is metabolized via methyl ketone formation; propionate and n-propylamine are metabolized via the methylmalonyl-succinate pathway. Isocitrate lyase activity was found in cells grown on acetate and was not present in cells grown on propionate or n-propylamine. 14CO2 was incorporated into pyruvate when propionate and n-propylamine were oxidized in the presence of NaAsO2, but insignificant radioactivity was found in pyruvate produced during the oxidation of propane and acetone. The n-propylamine dissimilatory mechanism was inducible in strain R-22, and amine dehydrogenase activity was detected in cells grown on n-propylamine. Radiorespirometer and 14CO2 incorporation studies with several propane-utilizing organisms indicate that the methylmalonyl-succinate pathway is the predominant one for the metabolism of propionate. Microbes have diverse mechanisms for the initial oxidative attack on hydrocarbon substrates and for the dissimilation of the oxygenated product. Two mechanisms of oxidative attack on short-chain n-alkanes (C3-C,) have been demonstrated. These are terminal oxidation (2, 9) and methyl ketone formation (14, 19). The terminally oxygenated product may be catabolized further by alpha oxidation (7, 21), i.e. removal of one carbon at each step, or by beta oxidation (4, 28). Methyl ketones can be metabolized to the a-hydroxy ketone (17, 19) as with acetone to acetol, or the methyl ketone can be subterminally oxidized to an acetate ester (8) which is cleaved to yield acetate and a primary alcohol. Very little is known about the microbial metabolism of the various derivatives of the short-chain hydrocarbons and primary amines. The microbial metabolism of methylamine has been investigated thoroughly. Leadbetter and Gottlieb (15) showed that a gram-negative diplococcus metabolized methylamine by incorporating the methyl group of methylamine into serine by hydroxymethylation of glycine. The same pathway for the degradation of 1 Paper no of the Journal Series of the North Carolina State University Agricultural Experiment Station, Raleigh, N.C methylamine was observed for Pseudomonas sp. AM1 (12) and Pseudomonas sp. MS (10). Studies on the metabolism of higher amines by microbes are lacking. Eady and Large (5) observed that a purified amine dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. AM1 showed a high affimity for the primary aliphatic monoamines from methylamine through n-hexylamine, but the metabolic pathways for degradation of these compounds were not studied. These findings prompted a study of the metabolism of propane, propionate, and n- propylamine by hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microorganisms. The microorganism used for most of this study was strain R-22, a short, grampositive, non-acid-fast rod of an unclassified genus tentatively identified with a group of organisms as a- methylglucoside positive (Ruth E. Gordon, Institute of Mcrobiology, Rutgers University, personal communication). This organism is capable of utilizing, as sole source of carbon and energy, all n-alkanes from Cl through C,8 and an array of long-chain alkenes, ketones, alcohols, and organic acids. Other strains used for a comparative study of propionate metabolism were as follows: Mycobacterium vaccae strain JOB5; M. album strains 7E4 and 7E1B1W; and M. rhodochrous strains OFS, A78, and 7E1C. These organisms can use propane as sole 513

Organisms were cultured on the mineral salts medium of Leadbetter and Foster (13) supplemented with the appropriate carbon source. Propionate (Na) and n-propylamine were added at a concentration of 0.2%. The n-propylamine was neutralized with HCI and filter-sterilized. Propane was added by replacing 50% of the air in a closed flask with the gaseous alkane. For growth on propane, propionate, or n-propylamine, inocula were preadapted by growth on the appropriate substrate. Manometric studies. Manometric techniques were those described by Umbreit et al. (24). Enzyme assays. Cell-free extracts for isocitrate lyase determinations were made by suspending the cells in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) buffer (ph 7.9) and disrupting them in a French pressure cell or by sonic disruption at 4 C for 20 min in a sonic dismembrator (Quigley-Rochester, Inc., Rochester, N.Y.). Extracts for amine dehydrogenase were made in 67 mm phosphate buffer (ph 7.5). Debris was removed by centrifugation at 17,000 x g for 30 min at 4 C. Protein was assayed by the method of Lowry et al. (18). Isocitrate lyase (threo-d.-isocitrate glyoxylatelyase, EC ) was assayed by the method of Daron and Gunsalus (3) by using formation of the 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (2, 4-DNP) of glyoxylic acid from threo-d8(+)-isocitric acid (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.) as indication of enzyme activity. The 2, 4-DNP was detected in a Spectronic 20 colorimeter at 540 and 490 nm. The 490:540 ratio of absorbancies was 1.8: 2.0 for glyoxylate. The presence of glyoxylate could be confirmed by spotting the 2,4-DNP of the assay mixture on Whatman no. 1 filter paper and chromatography with the 2,4-DNP of authentic glyoxylic acid as a control. The solvent was n-butanol-ethanol-0.5 N NH4OH (70:10:20). The oxidation of n-propylamine by cell-free extracts of strain R-22 was determined by the method of Eady and Large (5). Activity was measured with N-methyl-phenazonium methosulfate (phenazine methosulfate) as electron acceptor by following its reoxidation with 2, 6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (DCPIP) spectrophotometrically at 600 nm. The assay was started by addition of n-propylamine, and the rate of decrease in absorbancy at 600 nm, consequent on the reduction of DCPIP, was followed at 27 C in a Spectronic 20 colorimeter against a blank containing all reactants except DCPIP. "4CO2 Incorporation experiments. The procedure of Smith and Kornberg (22) was followed with an endogenous control with and without added NaAsO2. NaH14CO. (10 1Ci) was added to each vessel with 50 Mmoles of propionate, n-propylamine, or acetone. Gaseous substrates were added as a 50: 50, gas-air mixture. Parallel flasks with malate as substrate were run for each cell type to measure CO2 exchange reactions. After incubation at 30 C for 150 min, carrier pyruvate was added (12.5 umoles). The keto acids were converted to the respective 2, 4-DNP by the method of El Hawary and Thompson (6). Two milliliters of 0.1% 2,4-DNP in 2 N HCl was added to each flask, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 min. The 2, 4-DNP was then extracted six times with 2-ml volumes of ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined and dried under N2. After suspension in 0.2 ml of ethyl acetate, a 10- Mliter sample was spotted on Whatman no. 1 filter paper and chromatographed as described above. The developed chromatograms were air-dried and sprayed with alcoholic KOH. The spot corresponding to pyruvate was placed in a scintillation vial, and scintillation fluid was added. The radioactivity was measured in a Mark I analyzer (Nuclear- Chicago Corp., Des Plaines, Ill.). A nonradioactive pyruvate spot was used to determine background. Radiorespirometer experiments. Procedures for radiorespirometer experiments with "4C-labeled propionate were similar to those of Wang et al. (31). Cell suspensions of selected organisms, after growth on propionate (60 to 80 mg, dry weight), were placed in the reaction vessel. In addition to cells, each vessel contained 20 Mmoles of propionate along with 1.21 x 101 counts/min propionate-1-"4c, 1.08 x 106 counts/min propionate-2-14c, or 9.27 x 106 counts/min propionate-3-14c. The CO2 produced was trapped in 10 ml of monoethanolamine, and the trapping column was washed twice with 5 ml of absolute ethanol. A 1-ml sample was measured for radioactivity in the scintillation counter. RESULTS Manometric studies were conducted on nonproliferating cells of strain R-22 after growth on propane, n-propylamine, and propionate. Q(02) values (microliters of 02 uptake per milligram of cells per hour) were calculated for each test substrate, and the results are presented in Table 1. Strain R-22 cells were harvested after growth on n-propylamine, acetate, and propionate, and cell-free extracts were prepared. These extracts were assayed for isocitrate lyase activity (Table 2). When cells were grown on propionate or n-propylamine, no isocitrate lyase activity was detected, whereas cells grown on acetate had significant activity. Although cells grown on propane contained isocitrate lyase activity in most experiments, the results with this substrate were inconsistent. Nonproliferating cells of strain R-22 grown on propane, acetone, n-propylamine, and propionate were exposed to the corresponding growth substrates in the presence of NaH14CO2. Sodium arsenite was added to one of the duplicate flasks to effect the accumulation of pyruvate. If propane, acetone, or n-propylamine are metabolized through propionate, labeled pyruvate should also be accumulated in the presence of labeled bicarbonate and ar-

Malate was used in one set of flasks as a control to measure the amount of "CO2 incorporated by exchange reactions. The amount of radioactivity recovered in pyruvate during metabolism of these substrates is shown in Table 3. Significant label, in excess of the malate and endogenous controls, was found for n-propylamine and propionate with little labeled pyruvate produced by cells metabolizing propane and acetone. An experiment was conducted to determine the time required for cells grown on propionate to induce to n-propylamine oxidation. Results in Fig. 1 show that the induction time for n- propylamine oxidation was 60 to 70 min. Amine dehydrogenase assays on cell-free extracts of strain R-22 cells, after growth on propionate and n-propylamine, confirmed that the enzyme was absent from cells grown on propionate. The enzyme activity in cells grown on n-propylamine was 23.7 units. (1 unit = amount of enzyme necessary to reduce 1 gmole of DCPIP per minute with n-propylamine used as substrate). Experiments were conducted on several organisms (strain OFS, 7E1C, A78, 7E4, 7E1B1W, and JOB5) that utilize propane as sole substrate to determine whether the methylmalonate-succinate pathway for propionate utilization is a common pathway in propaneoxidizing microbes. Significant radioactivity was present in the pyruvate produced during propionate oxidation for all the organisms tested (Table 4). Radiorespirometer experiments were conducted with these same organisms as further confirmation of the pathway of propionate utilization. The pattern of "4CO2 evolution from propionate-1-14c, -2-14C, and -3-14C by nonproliferating propionate-grown cells was determined. Results are presented in Fig. 2.

Each respirometer vessel contained a total volume of 2.4 ml: 2.0 ml of cells (8 mg, dry weight) diluted in mineral salts medium; 0.2 ml of 20% KOH in the center well; and 0.2 ml of substrate (50 umoles). One vessel contained 100,g of chloramphenicol. terminally oxidized substrates. Propane-grown cells also attacked these substrates at a relatively greater rate than did cells grown on n- propylamine or propionate. According to the theory of sequential induction (23), these results suggest that nonterminally oxidized intermediates may be involved in propane oxidation. Earlier studies (26) with another hydrocarbon-utilizing bacterium, M. vaccae strain JOB5, indicated that propane is metabolized to acetate and CO2 via acetone and acetol formation. Low levels of isocitrate lyase were detected in extracts from strain R-22 cells grown on propane. The Q(O2) values found with propane-grown cells (Table 1) and the lack of significant incorporation of 14CO2 into pyruvate during propane oxidation (Table 3) suggests that in strain R-22 propane is metabolized via a C2-C1 split as in M. vaccae strain JOB5. Strain R-22 cells grown on propionate oxidized 1, 2-propanediol, 2-propanol, and acetone, indicating that some propionate may be metabolized via a C2-C1 split similar to that found in the metabolism of acetone or propane. Propionate could be activated to propionyl-coa, dehydrogenated to acrylyl-coa, and hydroxylated to lactyl-coa. The induction of isocitrate lyase has been found when this pathway is involved in propionate metabolism. This pathway has been demonstrated in Clos- OFS E1C ,710 A ,140 7E ,550 7E1B1W JOB ,500 a Each vessel contained 50 umoles of substrate and 10 usci of NaH14CO3.

Enzyme assays revealed that strain R-22 cells grown on propionate have no detectable isocitrate lyase activity (Table 2), whereas there is activity in cells grown on acetate. The absence of detectable isocitrate lyase suggests that the amount of propionate metabolized via acetate is of minor overall importance. If propionate is metabolized through methylmalonyl-coa to succinate, a carboxylation reaction occurs and can be detected by adding "4CO2 to cells metabolizing these substrates. Addition of NaAsO2, which inhibits the en-
5 VOL. 112, 1972 METABOLISM BY HYDROCARBON-UTILIZING BACTERIA zyme dihydrolipoly dehydrogenase of the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex, should cause pyruvate accumulation (20). If carboxylation occurred, the pyruvate accumulated would be isotopically labeled. The production of radioactive pyruvate (Table 3) during oxidation of propionate suggests that propionate was indeed metabolized by the methylmalonyl-coa pathway. The relatively low count was in part due to a deleterious effect of arsenite on the oxidation of propionate, but also lends support to the possible occurrence of another minor pathway for the metabolism of propionate as mentioned above. Radiorespirometric studies with strain R-22 (Fig. 2) show that the rate of 14CO2 production from propionate-1-14c was higher than from propionate-2-14c or -3-14C. Radioactive CO2 from propionate-2-14c and -3-14C was evolved at essentially the same rate, which confirms that the number 2 and 3 carbons become part of a symmetrical molecule. This suggests the presence of the propionyl-coa carboxylase-methylmalonyl-coa pathway of propionate utilization according to Wegener et al. (29). The methylmalonic acid pathway thus appears to be functional in the metabolism of propionate in strain R-22 as well as M. vaccae strain JOB5 (26). Radiorespirometric studies (Fig. 2) and 14CO2 incorporation into pyruvate (Table 4) for a variety of propane-utilizing strains suggest that this pathway may be the predominant one for the degradation of propionate in organisms capable of utilizing propane. The Q(02) values for n-propylamine-grown cells of strain R-22 (Table 1) indicate that terminally oxidized intermediates are involved in the oxidation of n-propylamine. Cells grown on n-propylamine did not significantly oxidize 1, 2-propanediol, 2-propanol, or acetone; whereas propionate-grown cells oxidized the compounds at a greater rate. If propylamine was oxidized terminally, the reactions involving deamination, oxidation, and carboxylation of the oxidized intermediate might occur tightly bound to the enzyme; thus, all propionate formed would be converted to succinate while bound to the enzyme. Labeled pyruvate produced (Table 3) during the oxidation of n- propylamine, in the presence of 14CO2, indicates that propionate is a key intermediate and that the methylmalonyl-coa pathway is instrumental in the metabolism of the substrate. The amount of 14CO2 incorporated into pyruvate was greater during oxidation of n- propylamine than during oxidation of propionate. This further supports the hypothesis that 517 a greater portion of the propionate formed during oxidation of n-propylamine is metabolized by one pathway. The absence of any detectable amount of isocitrate lyase activity (Table 2) suggests that no two carbon intermediates are initially formed in the oxidation of n-propylamine.
