Background And Objectives: Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is one of the main surfactant components in detergents and cosmetics, used in high amounts as a detergent in products such as shampoos, car wash soap and toothpaste. Therefore, its bioremediation by suitable microorganisms is important. Alkylsulfatase is an enzyme that hydrolyses sulfate -ester bonds to give inorganic sulfate and alcohol. The purpose of this study was to isolate SDS-degrading bacteria from Tehran city car wash wastewater, study bacterial alkylsulfatase enzyme activity and identify the alkylsulfatase enzyme coding gene.
Materials And Methods: Screening of SDS-degrading bacteria was carried out on basal salt medium containing SDS as the sole source of carbon. Amount of SDS degraded was assayed by methylene blue active substance (MBAS).
Results And Conclusion: Identification of the sdsA gene was carried by PCR and subsequent sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene and biochemical tests identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium is able to degrade 84% of SDS after four days incubation. Bacteria isolated from car wash wastewater were shown to carry the sdsA gene (670bp) and the alkylsulfatase enzyme specific activity expressed from this gene was determined to be 24.3 unit/mg. The results presented in this research indicate that Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a suitable candidate for SDS biodegradation.

Bacteria using toxic chemicals, such as detergents, as growth substrates face the challenge of exposing themselves to cell-damaging effects that require protection mechanisms, which demand energy delivered from catabolism of the toxic compound. Thus, adaptations are necessary for ensuring the rapid onset of substrate degradation and the integrity of the cells. strain PAO1 can use the toxic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a growth substrate and employs, among others, cell aggregation as a protection mechanism.

Biochemical, physiological and genomic comparisons of two strains, assigned previously to the subgroup, which are efficient SDS-degraders were carried out. A GO enrichment analysis showed that the genomes of SDS-degraders encode more genes connected with bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and alkanesulfonate monooxygenase activity than their closest relatives from the subgroup. A transcriptomic analysis of the most promising strain exposed to detergent suggests that although SDS can be later utilized as a carbon source, in early stages it influences cell envelope integrity, causing a global stress response followed by cell wall modification and induction of repair mechanisms.

Rationale: Recent preclinical research suggested that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) and specifically class I HDAC selective inhibitors might be useful to treat alcohol use disorders (AUDs).
Objective: The objective of this study was to find a new inhibitor of the HDAC-1 isoenzyme and to test its efficacy in an animal model of AUDs.
Methods: In the present study, we prepared new derivatives bearing sulfonylhydrazide-type zinc-binding group (ZBG) and evaluated these compounds in vitro on HDAC-1 isoenzyme.
The eukaryotic enzyme Bds1 is an alkyl but not an aryl sulfohydrolase.

The eukaryotic enzyme Bds1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a metallo-β-lactamase-related enzyme evolutionarily originating from bacterial horizontal gene transfer that serves an unknown biological role. Previously, Bds1 was reported to be an alkyl and aryl sulfatase. However, we demonstrate here that Bds1 acts on primary alkyl sulfates (of 6-12 carbon atoms) but not the aryl sulfates p-nitrophenyl sulfate and p-nitrocatechol sulfate.

A novel alkylsulfatase from bacterium (SdsAP) was identified as a thermostable alkylsulfatases (type III), which could hydrolyze the primary alkyl sulfate such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Thus, it has a potential application of SDS biodegradation. The crystal structure of SdsAP has been solved to a resolution of 1.
