ABSTRACT Stationary-phase mutations occur in populations of stressed, nongrowing, and slowly growing cells and allow mutant bacteria to overcome growth barriers. Mutational processes in starving cells are different from those occurring in growing bacteria. Here, we present evidence that changes in mutational processes also take place during starvation of bacteria. Our test system for selection of mutants based on creation of functional promoters for the transcriptional activation of the phenol degradation genes pheBA in starving Pseudomonas putida enables us to study base substitutions (C-to-A or G-to-T transversions), deletions, and insertions. We observed changes in the spectrum of promoter-creating mutations during prolonged starvation of Pseudomonas putida on phenol minimal plates. One particular C-to-A transversion was the prevailing mutation in starving cells. However, with increasing time of starvation, the importance of this mutation decreased but the percentage of other types of mutations, such as 2- to 3-bp deletions, increased. The rate of transversions was markedly elevated in the P. putida MutY-defective strain. The occurrence of 2- to 3-bp deletions required the stationary-phase sigma factor RpoS, which indicates that some mutagenic pathway is positively controlled by RpoS in P. putida.

The biodiesel fuels nowadays are attracting worldwide attention as blending components or direct replacements for diesel fuel in conventional diesel engines. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness ofPseudomonas putidaas oil-biodegradable agent in soil contaminated with biodiesel/diesel blends (B50). The effectiveness on bioremediation has been conducted by examining several physico-chemical tests on biodiesel/diesel-contaminated soil before and after seeding ofPseudomonasputida. The spillage stimulation of B50 was conducted at laboratory scale for 24 days of incubation time. The results show that the bioremediation treatment able to remove up to 82%, 54%, 38% and 10% of nitrogen, sulfate, phosphate and organic carbon, respectively. The pH of soil sample was changed from pH 7.42 (Day 0) to pH 6.38 (Day 24) after the treatment. Meanwhile, the moisture content in the sample has increased from 25.61% (Day 0) to 31.83% (Day 24). All results show the good indication of quality improvement for polluted soil after treated withPseudomonasputida. It is apparent from the acquired results that the application ofPseudomonasputidais suitable as effective microorganism and potentially useful as oil-soil biodegradable agent in polluted soil.
