| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of bacteria that contribute to the redox changes of phosphorus compounds in soil and freshwater environments. We revealed that the genes involved in the reduction and oxidation of phosphorus compounds, including phosphate, phosphite, phosphonates, and hypophosphite, are distributed in a specific phylogenic group of bacteria. The genes involved in these conversions of the redox state of phosphorus compounds were identified, and their molecular mechanisms were analyzed. Our biochemical analysis revealed the presence of a novel pathway for the reduction of phosphate moiety of phosphate ester compound in the bacteria we identified.
