| dc.description.abstract | 4-t-octylphenol (4-t-OP) 是廣泛使用的非離子表面活性劑 (辛基酚聚乙氧基化物) 的常見生物轉化產物. 然而, 與已廣泛用於許多工業領域 (包括紡織, 石油, 造紙和塑料工業) 的化合物相比, 4-t-OP 在環境中更持久, 普遍存在並具有雌激素活性. 微生物的生物降解是最重要的自然過程之一, 可以影響水生和陸地環境中污染物去除的速率. 4-t-OP 的降解途徑和其在細菌和白腐菌中酵素的分子研究已有很多文獻. 相比之下, 沒有研究調查非木質素分解真菌和酵母菌對於用 4-t-OP 作唯一碳源之降解潛力, 其降解機制仍然很大程度上未知.因此, 本研究旨在從污水處理廠和塑料工業廢物樣品中分離降解 4-t-OP 之非木質素分解真

| dc.description.abstract | 4-t-Octylphenol (4-t-OP) is a common biotransformation product of the widely used nonionic
surfactants, octylphenol polyethoxylates (OPEOn). However, compared to the parent compound that has been extensively used in many industrial sectors including textile, petroleum,
paper, and plastic industries, 4-t-OP is known to be more persistent, ubiquitous in the environment, and estrogenically active. Microbial biodegradation is one of the most important natural processes which can influence the fate and removal of pollutants in both aquatic and
terrestrial environments. Degradation pathways of 4-t-OP and their molecular studies of enzymes
in bacteria and white rot fungi have been well documented. By contrast, no study has
investigated the potential of non-ligninolytic fungi and yeasts for degradation of 4-t-OP used as
the sole carbon source and its degradation mechanisms remain largely unknown. Therefore, this
study aims to isolate 4-t-OP degrading non-ligninolytic fungi and yeasts from a sewage treatment plant and plastic industry waste samples and to explore the degradation pathways involved.
Three yeast species, with the ability to degrade 4-t-OP, were isolated from a sewage
treatment plant in Taipei by enrichment culture technique using 4-t-OP as the sole carbon and energy source. Microscopic observation and molecular identification by ITS and LSU rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolates belonged to two genera and were designated as Candida rugopelliculosa RRKY5, Galactomyces candidum RRK17, and G. candidum RRK22.
For preliminary screening, growth properties of the isolated strains were explored using different substrates including 4-t-OP, 4-t-nonylphenol (4-t-NP), octylphenol polyethoxylates (OPEOn),
nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEOn), phenol, and isooctane. It was found that strain RRKY5
v
utilized all the tested substrates and grew faster than the others. Comparative investigation on biodegradation of 4-t-OP both in the presence and absence of the co-substrate dextrose (0.05%)
was carried out by the isolated yeast species. Results of HPLC analysis indicated that 4-t-OP
degradation took place both in the presence and absence of dextrose (0.05%); after 24 d, 93% or 95% of 4-t-OP was degraded by C. rugopelliculosa RRKY5 in media with or without dextrose,
whereas degradation was lower in the two strains of G. candidum. These results indicate that the C. rugopelliculosa RRKY5 is a better candidate than the other yeast species in degrading 4-t-OP
in liquid culture. The strain RRKY5 was chosen for further studies to address the kinetics and degradation mechanism of 4-t-OP.
C. rugopelliculosa RRKY5 was tested with various alkylphenols and their derivatives including 4-methylphenol, bisphenol A (BPA), 4-ethylphenol (4-EP), 4-t-butylphenol (4-t-BP), 4-t-OP, 4-t-NP, isooctane, and phenol. Strain RRKY5 had a broad substrate range and was
capable of utilizing various branched chain alkylphenols (APs). Interestingly, morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy revealed that the strain RRKY5 in the presence of
4-t-OP formed arthroconidia, whereas the strain remained in the budding yeast-like form in the presence of glucose without 4-t-OP, implicating that arthroconidium production might be an
indicator for the utilization of 4-t-OP. Results of growth and biodegradation experiments with varying temperature, pH, and 4-t-OP concentrations showed that the optimum conditions for 4-t-
OP degradation by strain RRKY5 were 30 oC, pH 5.0, and an initial 4-tert-OP concentration of
30 mg L-1. Under these conditions, the maximum biodegradation rate constant was 0.107 d-1
equivalent to a minimum half-life of 9.6 d. Liquid chromatography-hybrid mass spectrometry
was used to detect and characterize different metabolites during the degradation. Based on the
vi
identified metabolites, the yeast strain RRKY5 can degrade 4-t-OP via both branched alkyl side
chain and aromatic ring cleavage pathways.
On the other hand, 14 non-ligninolytic fungi were isolated from soil, water, and sludge
samples from the sewage treatment plant in Taipei and plastic industry waste in Taoyuan, by using the modified minimal salt medium (MMSM) with 4-t-OP as the sole carbon source. According to the molecular identification by ITS sequences, the isolates belonged to taxa such as Aspergillus (2 spp.), Fusarium (6 spp.), Nectria (2 spp.), Pseudallescheria, Scedosporium, and
Trichoderma (2 spp.). Initial screening was conducted based on the growth properties on solid media with different substrates including 4-t-OP, 4-t-NP, OPEOn, NPEOn, estrone, 17β-estradiol
and 17α-ethnylestradiol as the sole carbon source. It was found that 10 strains, except the Nectria
(2 spp.), Pseudallescheria, and Scedosporium, grew effectively on media with a wide variety of
substrates. The effectiveness for the degradation of 4-t-OP in liquid media by the individual fungal isolates was compared. After 14 days, the degradation of 4-t-OP was the highest (>70%) by three of the six strains of Fusarium, followed by the other Fusarium strains and the lowest in
the two strains of Aspergillus and Trichoderma. Given that the most effective 4-t-OP degradation
was observed in Fusarium sp. RRK20, this strain was chosen for further studies.
Based on the analysis of the tef-1α gene sequence, FSSC RRK20 was further identified as Fusarium falciforme RRK20. The effects and the interactions between the parameters such as pH, temperature, and dry weight, were evaluated and optimized by a central composite design and a response surface methodology. The degradation efficiency was significantly affected by the temperature and dry weight. The optimal values were found to be a pH of 6.5, an initial
inoculum density of 0.6 g L-1, and a temperature of 28 oC. The predicted values were in
satisfactory correlation with experimental values with a coefficient determination (R2) of 0.9788.

The statistical model was further validated for subsequent experimentation under optimized conditions. The effect of glucose concentrations on 4-t-OP degradation by F. falciforme RRK20
was evaluated. The results revealed that 4-t-OP degradation could be accelerated through the addition of glucose at relatively low dosage. Furthermore, the fungal metabolic pathway of 4-t-
OP was investigated by the Orbitrap elite mass spectrometer. Based on the identified metabolites, strain RRK20 degraded 4-t-OP via two different mechanisms including the alkyl branched side chain oxidation and the aromatic ring hydroxylation. Further degradation of the metabolites proceeded through the alkyl side chain followed by the aromatic ring cleavage.
In summary, this is the first study focusing on the degradation of 4-t-OP as the sole
carbon source by yeast and a non-ligninolytic fungus from sewage treatment plant and plastic industry waste samples. This study also demonstrated their optimum conditions for 4-t-OP
degradation to improve biodegradation efficiency. The addition of nutrients can increase
degradation efficiency of 4-t-OP. The pathways of degradation of 4-t-OP by the yeast and nonligninolytic fungi are different from the reported degradation pathways shown for bacteria and
