This study focused on rhamnolipid (a typical surfactant) and Burkholderia sp. FM-2 (a high-efficiency phenanthrene-degrading bacterium), investigating its effects on phenanthrene solubilization and biodegradation by analyzing cell surface characteristics and gene expression differences. Results showed that low concentrations of rhamnolipid (20\u2013120 mg\/L) promoted phenanthrene degradation, while high concentration (400 mg\/L) exerted an inhibitory effect. At 20\u201356 mg\/L, rhamnolipid altered the bacterial surface morphology and functional groups, facilitated lipopolysaccharide release, enhanced cell surface hydrophobicity, and increased zeta potential. When the rhamnolipid concentration was 20 mg\/L, the phenanthrene degradation rates of cytoplasmic enzymes, periplasmic enzymes, and extracellular enzymes produced by the bacterium reached over 98% after 15 days of enzyme system culture, demonstrating its role in promoting enzyme production and activity. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that 56 mg\/L (1 CMC) rhamnolipid enhanced degradation through multi-pathway regulation of gene expression: upregulating the gene encoding protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase to strengthen benzene ring cleavage; increasing the expression of genes related to ABC transporters and protein transport to promote phenanthrene transmembrane transport; and activating genes involved in metabolic processes such as pyruvate metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to enhance central carbon metabolic flux. This regulatory mode optimizes energy supply and redox balance, and indirectly improves phenanthrene bioavailability by modulating membrane structure and function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms13112608","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,17]],"date-time":"2025-11-17T15:38:09Z","timestamp":1763393889000},"page":"2608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Enhancing Phenanthrene Degradation by Burkholderia sp.
