More Details: Abstract A bacterial consortium was isolated from a soil in Noblejas (Toledo, Spain) with a long history of mixed hydrocarbons pollution, by enrichment cultivation. Serial cultures of hydrocarbons polluted soil samples were grown in a minimal medium using diesel (1 mL/L) as the sole carbon and energy source. The bacterial composition of the Noblejas Consortium (NC) was determined by sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicon libraries. The consortium contained around 50 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) and the major populations belonged to the genera Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Delftia, Stenotrophomonas, Achromobacter, Acinetobacter, Novosphingobium, Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Rhizobium, Ochrobactrum and Luteibacter. All other genera were below 1%. Metagenomic analysis of NC has shown a high abundance of genes encoding enzymes implicated in aliphatic and (poly) aromatic hydrocarbons degradation, and almost all pathways for hydrocarbon degradation are represented. Metagenomic analysis has also allowed the construction of metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) for the major players of NC. Metatranscriptomic analysis has shown that several of the ASVs are implicated in hydrocarbon degradation, being Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and Delftia the most active populations.
