This work investigated the distribution of the clcF gene in actinobacteria isolated from different ecotopes. The gene encodes chloromuconolactone dehalogenase (CMLD) ClcF, the enzyme found to date in only one representative of Gram-positive bacteria, Rhodococcus opacus 1CP, adapted to 2-chlorophenol (2CP). Using primers specific to the clcF gene, from the DNA matrix of rhodococcal strains closely related to species Rhodococcus wratislaviensis (P1, P12, P13, P20, G10, KT112, KT723, BO1) we obtained PCR products whose nucleotide sequences were 100% identical to that of the clcF gene from strain R. opacus 1CP. CMLDs isolated from the biomass of strains Rhodococcus spp. G10 and P1 grown on 2CP did not differ by their subunit molecular mass deduced from the known amino acid sequence of the clcF gene from the ClcF of strain R. opacus 1CP. Matrix-assisted laser dissociation/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry showed the presence of a peak with m/z 11,194-11,196 Da both in whole cells and in protein solutions with a ClcF activity. Thus, we have first time shown the distribution of ClcF among actinobacteria isolated from geographically distant habitats.

Unlabelled: Microorganisms resist fluoride toxicity using fluoride export proteins from one of several different molecular families. Cariogenic species and extrude intracellular fluoride using a CLC F/H antiporter and FEX fluoride channel, respectively, whereas oral commensal eubacteria, such as export fluoride using a Fluc fluoride channel. In this work, we examine how genetic knockout of fluoride export impacts pathogen fitness in single-species and three-species dental biofilm models.

Bacteria make a huge contribution to the purification of the environment from toxic stable pollutants of anthropogenic and natural origin due to the diversity of their enzyme systems. For example, the ability to decompose 3-chlorobenzoate (3CBA) by the four representative genera of Actinobacteria, such as , , , and , was studied. In most cases, the formation of 4-chlorocatechol as the only key intermediate during the decomposition of 3CBA was observed.

Chloromuconolactone dehalogenase ClcF plays a unique role in 3-chlorocatechol degradation by Rhodococcus opacus 1CP by compensating the inability of its chloromuconate cycloisomerase ClcB2 to dechlorinate the chemically stable cycloisomerization product (4R,5S)-5-chloromuconolactone (5CML). High sequence similarities showed relatedness of ClcF to muconolactone isomerases (MLIs, EC 5.3.
