The goal of this work was to investigate the genetics of an acidophilic phenol-degrading yeast strain using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), characterize the growth of the strain and phenol degradation capability as well as degradation pathway under extremely acidic conditions. The result showed that the strain ZM1 isolated from an acid mine drainage (AMD) belongs to basidiomycetous yeastRhodotorulasp., which possesses some unique genes compared to other four closely relatedRhodotorulaspecies. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis suggested that ZM1 possessed the degradation potentials for aromatic compounds. ZM1 was acidophilic with the optimum growth at the initial pH of 3.0. It could adjust pH to desired levels probably by acid production during the cultivation. Notably, at pH 3.0, the strain ZM1 showed a high phenol-degrading capability that almost completely degraded 1100 mg/L of phenol in 120 h with the highest degradation rate of 0.074 g/(g cell dry weight h). Under the same pH, the strain could completely degrade 500 mg/L phenol within 48 h at NaCl concentration up to 10 g/L. The identification of the genecatAby the KEGG analysis, together with the presence of metabolic intermediate ofcis, cis-muconic acid detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, confirmed that the strain ZM1 degraded phenol viaortho-cleavage pathway. These findings suggest that the indigenous yeasts strain ZM1 could be exploited as an important member for in-situ biodegradation of aromatic compounds in the extremely acidic environments.
