Transformation kinetics of trans- andcis-dichloroethylenes (DCE) by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b wild type (WT)and PP319, a mutant that expresses soluble methane monooxygenase at copper levels upto ∼12 μM Cu (sMMOC), were determined to assess theeffects of O2level and N2-fixation on degradationcapabilities. Two issues were examined: (1) the influence of O2level and nitrogen-limitation on DCE degradationkinetics and toxicity in both organisms, and (2) the relative utility of PP319 forcontaminant degradation in bioreactors. When both organisms were grown underhigh O2conditions (80% saturation in air), maximum transformation rates(Vmax) and apparent first-order rate constants(Vmax/KM) were lower compared with organisms grown under low O2conditions (10% saturation in air)regardless of nitrogen level. Further, Vmax values were near zero innitrogen-limited WT cultures when O2was high (as expected), whereas PP319 retainedmoderate Vmax levels even at high O2levels. In general, elevatedO2conditions reduced DCE degradation rates in OB3b, although the negative effectsof O2were less in PP319 than in the WT. Given that PP319 retained moderate DCEdegradation rates under most O2and copper conditions, the mutant appears to havesome utility for biodegradation applications.
