contents Lignocellulose-mediated selection of potential halophilic PET-degrading enzymes from mangrove soil. Peña-Valencia, María Fernanda Robaina-Estévez, Semidán Custer, Gordon F Turak, Onur Sierra, Felipe Mendes, Lucas William Rubiano-Labrador, Carolina Gutiérrez, Jay Vaksmaa, Annika Dini-Andreote, Francisco Rosado, Alexandre Soares Reyes, Alejandro Jiménez, Diego Javier Lignin Soil Microbiology Polyethylene Terephthalates Phylogeny Bacteria Seawater Soil Archaea Metagenomics Salinity Mangroves are ecosystems located at land-sea transition zones, where they are continuously exposed to plant biomass and plastic pollution. Their soils harbor extensive microbial diversity with potential for discovering polymer-degrading enzymes. Here, we perform a microcosm experiment to examine how mangrove soil microbial communities respond to inputs of lignocellulose or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the presence and absence of seawater, and to explore the selection of putative PET-active enzymes (PETases) using gene- and genome-resolved metagenomics. Incubation conditions lead to a gradual increase in salinity, resulting in the enrichment of halophilic taxa, including spore-forming bacteria and archaeal species, particularly in seawater-depleted treatments. Lignocellulose input is the primary driver of soil microbial community restructuring, followed by seawater presence. In dry, lignocellulose-amended microcosms (L treatment), microbial diversity is significantly reduced, while lignocellulolytic taxa within the phyla Bacillota and Actinomycetota are enriched. Twelve potential PETases are identified in the L treatment, sharing >70% sequence similarity with known PETases, and three are predicted to be thermostable. Two putative PETases from Microbulbifer species display distinct sequence and structural features, thereby expanding the currently limited PETase sequence landscape. This study demonstrates that perturbing environmental microbiomes with plant-derived polymers represents a promising strategy for capturing novel PETases.
