Abstract:In this study, the biotransformation behavior of indole and methylindoles by phenol-degrading bacteria was explored, as well as the resource utilization of the indoles wastewater. The phenol-degrading bacterial strain was isolated from soil, then was identified by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The indole and methylindoles were biotransformed by the resting cells of strain, and the products were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the conditions of indoles biotransformation and indigo blue preparation. The results showed that a phenol-degrading bacterial strain YC was isolated and identified as Pseudomonas sp. Indole, 5-methylindole, 6-methylindole and 7-methylindole could be transformed to indigo and methyl substituted indigo by the resting cells of strain YC. The optimal conditions for indole biotransformation to indigo were as follows: biomass OD660 of 2.50; indole of 50.00 mg·L?1 and pH 8.00. Under the optimal conditions, the indigo yield could reach 29.78 mg·L?1. This indicated that the phenol-degrading strain Pseudomonas sp. YC could transform indole and methylindoles to indigoid pigments, which presents a promising potential application in the bioremediation of indole wastewater. Key words:phenol-degrading bacteria/ indole/ methylindoles/ indigo/ surface response methodology.
