Nicotine is a major toxic alkaloid in wastes generated from tobacco production and cigarette manufacturing. In the present work, a nicotine-degrading bacterial strain was isolated from tobacco powdery waste. The isolate was identified as Pseudomonas sp. S-1 based on morphology, physiology, and 16S rRNA gene sequence. Suitable conditions of isolate S-1 for nicotine degradation were pH 7.0 and 30 °C. Catabolic intermediates of nicotine were isolated with preparative-HPLC and characterized with LC-HRMS and NMR. The catabolic pathways of nicotine were involved in dehydrogenation, oxidation, hydrolysis, and hydroxylation. Interestingly, nicotine catabolism in strain S-1 undergoes a new pyrrolidine pathway that differs from the other three catabolic pathways in bacterial species. This work sheds light on catabolic diversity of nicotine and heteroaromatics.
