Biodegradation of chloroacetamide herbicides by Paracoccus sp. FLY-8 in vitro

A butachlor-degrading strain, designated FLY-8, was isolated from rice field soil and was identified as Paracoccus sp. Strain FLY-8 could degrade and utilize six chloroacetamide herbicides as carbon sources for growth, and the degradation rates followed the order alachlor > acetochlor > propisochlor > butachlor > pretilachlor > metolachlor. The influence of molecular structure of the chloroacetamide herbicides on the microbial degradation rate was first analyzed; the results indicated that the substitutions of alkoxymethyl side chain with alkoxyethyl side chain greatly reduced the degradation efficiencies; the length of amide nitrogen's alkoxymethyl significantly affected the biodegradability of these herbicides: the longer the alkyl was, the slower the degradation efficiencies occurred. The phenyl alkyl substituents have no obvious influence on the degradation efficiency. The pathway of butachlor complete mineralization was elucidated on the basis of the results of metabolite identification and enzyme assays. Butachlor was degraded to alachlor by partial C-dealkylation and then converted to 2-chloro-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetamide by N-dealkylation, which subsequently transformed to 2,6-diethylaniline, which was further degraded via the metabolites aniline and catechol, and catechol was oxidized through an ortho-cleavage pathway. This study highlights an important potential use of strain FLY-8 for the in situ bioremediation of chloroacetamide herbicides and their metabolite-contaminated environment.     

Simultaneous Biodegradation and Detoxification of the Herbicides 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid and 4-Chloro-2-Methylphenoxyacetic Acid in a Continuous Biofilm Reactor

The herbicides 2,4-diclorophenoxiacetic and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acids (2,4-D and MCPA) are widely used in agricultural practices worldwide. Not only are these practices responsible of surface waters contamination, but also agrochemical industries through the discharge of their liquid effluents. In this investigation, the ability of a 2,4-D degrading Delftia sp. strain to degrade the related compound MCPA and a mixture of both herbicides was assessed in batch reactors. The strain was also employed to remove and detoxify both herbicides from a synthetic effluent in a continuous reactor. Batch experiments were conducted in a 2-L aerobic microfermentor, at 28 °C. Continuous experiments were carried out in an aerobic downflow fixed-bed reactor. Bacterial growth was evaluated by the plate count method. Degradation of the compounds was evaluated by UV spectrophotometry, gas chromatography (GC), and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Toxicity was assessed before and after the continuous process by using Lactuca sativa seeds as test organisms. Delftia sp. was able to degrade 100 mg L^?1 of MCPA in 52 h. When the biodegradation assay was carried out with a mixture of 100 mg L^?1 of each herbicide, the process was accomplished in 56 h. In the continuous reactor, the strain showed high efficiency in the simultaneous removal of 100 mg L^?1 of each herbicide. Removals of 99.7, 99.5, and 95.0% were achieved for 2,4-D, MCPA, and COD, respectively. Samples from the influent of the continuous reactor showed high toxicity levels for Lactuca sativa seeds, while toxicity was not detected after the continuous process.     

二(2-乙基己基)邻苯二甲酸酯降解菌的分离和鉴定及其在污染土壤生物修复中的作用

Di-（2-ethylhexyl） phthalate（DEHP） is a high-molecular-weight phthalate ester（PAE） that has been widely used in the manufacture of polyvinylchloride and contributes to environmental pollution.The objectives of the present study were to isolate a DEHP degrader that can utilize DEHP as a carbon source and to investigate its capacity to biodegrade DEHP in both liquid culture and soil.A bacterial strain WJ4 was isolated from an intensively managed vegetable soil,which was contaminated with PAEs.The strain WJ4 was affiliated to the genus Rhodococcus and was able to remove DEHP from soil effectively.A period of only 7 d was required to degrade about 96.4%of DEHP(200 mg L^-1) in the liquid culture,and more than 55%of DEHP(1.0 g kg^-1) in the artificially contaminated soil was removed within 21 d.Furthermore,Rhodococcus sp.strain WJ4 had a strong ability to degrade DEHP without additional nutrients in liquid minimal medium culture and DEHP-contaminated soil and to degrade the homologue of DEHP in both liquid culture and soil.Strain WJ4 represents a novel tool for removing PAEs from contaminated soils and it may have great potential for application in the remediation of environmental pollution by PAEs.     

A comparison of three atrazine-degrading bacteria for soil bioremediation

The ability of three atrazine-degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP, a Pseudaminobacter sp., and a Nocardioides sp., to degrade and mineralize this herbicide in a loam soil was evaluated in laboratory microcosms. These bacteria all hydrolytically dechlorinate atrazine, and degrade atrazine in pure culture with comparable specific activities. The Pseudaminobacter and Nocardioides can utilize atrazine as sole carbon and nitrogen source, whereas the Pseudomonas can utilize the compound only as a nitrogen source. The Pseudomonas and Pseudaminobacter mineralize the compound; the end product of atrazine metabolism by the Nocardioides is N-ethylammelide. At inoculum densities of 10⁵ cells/g soil, only the Pseudaminobacter and Nocardioides accelerated atrazine dissipation. The Pseudaminobacter mineralized atrazine rapidly and without a lag, whereas atrazine was mineralized in the Nocardioides-inoculated soil but only after a lag of several days. The Pseudaminobacter remained viable longer than did the Pseudomonas in soil. PCR analysis of recovered bacteria indicated that the genes atzA (atrazine chlorohydrolase) and atzB (hydroxyatrazine ethylaminohydrolase) were less stable in the Pseudaminobacter than the Pseudomonas. In summary, this study has revealed important differences in the ability of atrazine-hydrolyzing bacteria to degrade this compound in soil, and suggests that the ability to utilize atrazine as a carbon source is important to establish "enhanced degradation" by ecologically meaningful inoculum densities.     

Biodegradation of buprofezin by Rhodococcus sp. strain YL-1 isolated from rice field soil

A buprofezin-degrading bacterium, YL-1, was isolated from rice field soil. YL-1 was identified as Rhodococcus sp. on the basis of the comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. The strain could use buprofezin as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth and was able to degrade 92.4% of 50 mg L(-1) buprofezin within 48 h in liquid culture. During the degradation of buprofezin, four possible metabolites, 2-tert-butylimino-3-isopropyl-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-4-one, N-tert-butyl-thioformimidic acid formylaminomethyl ester, 2-isothiocyanato-2-methyl-propane, and 2-isothiocyanato-propane, were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity was strongly induced during the degradation of buprofezin. A novel microbial biodegradation pathway for buprofezin was proposed on the basis of these metabolites. The inoculation of soils treated with buprofezin with strain YL-1 resulted in a higher degradation rate than that observed in noninoculated soils, indicating that strain YL-1 has the potential to be used in the bioremediation of buprofezin-contaminated environments.

Bioefficacy and Determination of Terminal Residues of a Herbicide Anilofos in Field Soil and Plants Following an Application to the Transplanted Rice Crop

Although herbicides provide effective weed control, some herbicides may pose serious health and environmental threats. Thus the bioefficacy and the persistence of three formulations of a herbicide, anilofos [GR (granules), W/O (water in oil emulsion), and EC (emulsifier concentration)], at 300, 450, and 600 g ha^?1 as pre-emergent applications were evaluated in transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.). All of the formulations enhanced the rice grain yield by 50% over weedy check and the grain yield was greatest in the 30% EC treatment applied at a 450 g ha^?1 rate. Phytotoxic symptoms of anilofos were not observed with any of these formulations on the transplanted rice. Terminal residues of anilofos in the soil and mature rice plants were below the maximum residues limit (MRL, 0.05 mg/kg) in the soil, grains, and straw treated with the various formulations of anilofos. Study showed fast degradation of anilofos in the soil and rice plants.     

Substrate specificity of chlorophenoxyalkanoic acid-degrading bacteria is not dependent upon phylogenetically related tfdA gene types

The phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides constitute a group of chemically related molecules that have been widely used for over 50 years. A range of bacteria have been selected from various locations for their ability to degrade these compounds. Previously reported strains able to utilise 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) include, Ralstonia eutropha JMP134, Burkholderia sp. RASC and Variovorax paradoxus TV1 and Sphingomonas sp. AW5 able to utilise 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). In addition a novel set of mecoprop-degrading strains including Alcaligenes denitrificans, Alcaligenes sp. CS1 and Ralstonia sp. CS2 are here described. It has been reported recently that TfdA enzymes, initially reported to have a role in 2,4-D catabolism are also involved in the first-step cleavage of related phenoxyalkanoate herbicides. However, a diversity of tfdA gene sequences have been reported. We relate the tfdA gene type to the metabolic ability of these strains. The tfdA-like genes were investigated by polymerase chain reaction amplification using a set of specific tfdA primers. Degradation ability was observed via phenol production from a range of unsubstituted and substituted phenoxyalkanoics including, 2,4-D, 2-methyl 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), racemic mecoprop, (R)-mecoprop, 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid (racemic 2,4-DP), 2,4,5-T, 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric acid (2,4-DB), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxybutyric acid (MCPB) and phenoxyacetate. Mecoprop-degrading strains showed partial tfdA sequences identical to the one described for V. paradoxus TV1 (a strain isolated on 2,4-D). However, substrate specificity was not identical as V. paradoxus exhibited greatest activity towards 2,4-D and MCPA only, whereas the mecoprop-degrading strains showed intense activity towards 2,4-D, MCPA, racemic mecoprop and (R)-mecoprop as substrates. However, Sphingomonas sp. AW5 which has been shown to carry a very different tfdA-like gene was the only strain to utilise the phenoxybutyric acid MCPB as a sole carbon source. In this study, we thus demonstrate that sequence diversity is not related to substrate specificity within the tfdA-like gene family. However, phylogenetically unrelated sequences may govern substrate specific activity.     

Molecular characterization and PCR detection of a nitrogen-fixing Pseudomonas strain promoting rice growth

Nitrogen-fixing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from the genus Pseudomonas have received little attention so far. In the present study, a nitrogen-fixing phytohormone-producing bacterial isolate from kallar grass (strain K1) was identified as Pseudomonas sp. by rrs (16S ribosomal RNA gene) sequence analysis. rrs identity level was high with an uncharacterized marine bacterium (99%), Pseudomonas sp. PCP2 (98%), uncultured bacteria (98%), and Pseudomonas alcaligenes (97%). Partial nifH gene amplified from strain K1 showed 93% and 91% sequence similarities to those of Azotobacter chroococcum and Pseudomonas stutzeri, respectively. The effect of Pseudomonas strain K1 on rice varieties Super Basmati and Basmati 385 was compared with those of three non-Pseudomonas nitrogen-fixing PGPR (Azospirillum brasilense strain Wb3, Azospirillum lipoferum strain N4 and Zoogloea strain Ky1) used as single-strain inoculants. Pseudomonas sp. K1 was detected in the rhizosphere of inoculated plants by enrichment culture in nitrogen-free growth medium, which was followed by observation under the microscope as well as by PCR using a rrs-specific primer. For both rice varieties, an increase in shoot biomass and/or grain yield over that of noninoculated control plants was recorded in each inoculated treatment. The effect of Pseudomonas strain K1 on grain yield was comparable to those of A. brasilense Wb3 and Zoogloea sp. Ky1 for both rice varieties. These results show that nitrogen-fixing pseudomonads deserve attention as potential PGPR inoculants for rice.

Phytoremediation of the herbicides atrazine and metolachlor by transgenic rice plants expressing human CYP1A1, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19

This study evaluated the expression of human cytochrome P450 genes CYP1A1, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19 in rice plants (Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare) introduced using the plasmid pIKBACH. The transgenic rice plants (pIKBACH rice plants) became more tolerant toward various herbicides than nontransgenic Nipponbare rice plants. Rice plants expressing pIKBACH grown in soil showed tolerance to the herbicides atrazine, metolachlor, and norflurazon and to a mixture of the three herbicides. The degradation of atrazine and metolachlor by pIKBACH rice plants was evaluated to confirm the metabolic activity of the introduced P450s. Although both pIKBACH and nontransgenic Nipponbare rice plants could decrease the amounts of the herbicides in plant tissue and culture medium, pIKBACH rice plants removed greater amounts in greenhouse experiments. The ability of pIKBACH rice plants to remove atrazine and metolachlor from soil was confirmed in large-scale experiments. The metabolism of herbicides by pIKBACH rice plants was enhanced by the introduced P450 species. Assuming that public and commercial acceptance is forthcoming, pIKBACH rice plants may become useful tools for the breeding of herbicide-tolerant crops and for phytoremediation of environmental pollution by organic chemicals.     

Soil nematode community varies between rice cultivars but is not affected by transgenic Bt rice expressing <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cry1Ab</Emphasis> or <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cry1Ab</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cry1Ac</Emphasis>

Insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins produced by transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) rice that enter the soil via root exudation and plant residues may be harmful to non-target soil organisms. We conducted a 3-year field investigation to determine if soil nematode abundance and diversity were affected by exposure to two transgenic Bt rice cultivars, compared to their non-transgenic near isolines. Near isolines were Kemingdao (KMD-Bt) expressing the single Cry1Ab gene and its non-Bt near isoline Xiushui-11 (XSD), as well as Huahui-1 (HH-Bt) expressing the fused Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac gene and its non-Bt near isoline Minghui-63 (MH). Nematode variables including community composition, abundance, trophic groups, and most of the common genera differed significantly between the rice cultivars. However, these nematode variables were similar under transgenic Bt rice and its non-Bt near isoline, although higher Shannon’s index value and Pielou’s index value were found in soils planted with Bt rice than the non-Bt near isoline. During this 3-year field study, gene modification (single Cry1Ab gene and fused Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac gene) supports a more uniform distribution of nematode species but had no effect on soil nematode abundance and community composition. We conclude that continuous cultivation of KMD-Bt and HH-Bt rice varieties for 3 years is not detrimental to soil nematode communities under field conditions.     

Response of freshwater alga Scenedesmus to triazine herbicides

The effect of three triazine herbicides namely, Gardoprim, Gesapax and Igran on the freshwater alga, Scenedesmus sp., was studied. Growth rate, chlorophyll (a) content, and ratio of chlorophylls (a/b) tend to decrease as the concentration of herbicides in the bioassay media was increased. The inhibitory effect of the studied herbicides was in the following the order: Igran > Gesapax > Gardoprim. Obtainable results reflect the relation between chemical structure and toxicity even within a chemically related group of herbicides. Uptake of the studied compounds by Scenedesmus algal cells decreased as the concentration of herbicides in the media was increased. The pH of the bioassay media showed gradual increase as algal growth proceeded, whereas in media containing inhibitory levels of the triazines, the pH value was unaffected. Microscopical examinations of Scenedesmus in all tested cultures showed marked morphological changes. In the case of inhibitory concentrations, the unicellular forms increased in numbers compared to Scenedesmus in the normal four-cell state. Statistical analysis revealed that significant relation existed between herbicide concentrations and chlorophyll content.     

Arthrobacter sp. AG1菌株降解土壤中阿特拉津研究

在阿特拉津浓度为50mg/kg干土的黄棕壤、潮土和红壤接种1.5×106CFU/g干土的降解菌Arthrobacter sp. AG1,10天后土壤中的阿特拉津分别降解至1.5、6.6和10mg/kg干土。阿特拉津的降解速率受到土壤性质的影响,但AG1仍能在不满足其生长繁殖要求的pH值的土壤中有效降解酸性土壤中阿特拉津;土壤中水分含量对降解效果影响较大,>20%时降解效果较好;土壤低含水量和低pH值会导致AG1降解阿特拉津的活力下降。不同的接种量对降解效果有一定影响,但105～107CFU/g干土接种量的AG1都能有效发挥降解作用。AG1降解完土壤中的阿特拉津后,在土壤含水量分别为5%和15%的情况下能长期保持降解活性,对60天后第2次施入黄棕壤和潮土中的50mg/kg阿特拉津4天时降解效率在65%以上。     

一株敌敌畏降解菌DDV-1(Ochrobactrium sp.)的分离鉴定及其降解特性的研究

Soil organic carbon （C） and total nitrogen （N） pools of a Chinese fir （Cunninghamia lanceolata （Lamb.） Hook.） （CF） forest, and an evergreen broadleaf （EB） forest located in mid-subtropical, southeastern China, were compared before clearcutting, with the effect of slash burning on organic C and total N in the top 10 cm of soil before and after burning also being evaluated. Prior to clearcutting CF forest had significantly lower （P 〈0.05） organic C and total N in the soil （0-100 cm） compared to EB forest with approximately 60% of the C and N at the two forest sites stored at the 0 to 40 cm soil. In post-burn samples of the 0-10 cm depth at 5 days, 1 year, and 5 years for CF and EB forests, significantly lower levels （P 〈0.05） of organic C and total N than those in the pre-burn samples were observed. Compared to the pre-burn levels, at post-burn year 5, surface soil organic C storage was only 85% in CF forest and 72% in EB forest, while total N storage was 77% for CF forest and 73% for EB forest. Slash burning caused marked long-term changes in surface soil C and N in the two forest types.     

Biodegradation of gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) and alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane in water and a soil slurry by a Pandoraea species

Isomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) were some of the most widely used pesticides. Despite reduction in their production and use, HCH isomers present a serious environmental hazard. In this study, two bacterial isolates (LIN-1 and LIN-3) that can grow on gamma-HCH as a sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from an enrichment culture. In liquid cultures of LIN-1 and LIN-3, 25.0 and 45.5% removal of gamma-HCH, respectively, were achieved in 2 weeks. LIN-3 was identified as Pandoraea sp. by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (99% identity). Pandoraea sp. substantially degraded both gamma- and alpha-HCH isomers at concentrations of 10-200 mg L(-1) in liquid cultures. After 8 weeks of incubation in liquid culture, 89.9 and 93.3% of the gamma- and alpha-HCH isomers declined, respectively, at an initial concentration of 150 mg L(-1). In soil slurry cultures of Pandoraea sp., simulating a soil slurry phase bioremediation treatment, substantial decreases in the levels of the HCH isomers were observed at concentrations of 50-200 mg L(-1). After 9 weeks, 59.6 and 53.3% biodegradations of gamma- and alpha-HCH isomers, respectively, were achieved at 150 mg L(-1). Using two 23-mer oligonucloetide primers targeting the 330 bp region of the 16S rRNA gene of Pandoraea sp., an approximately 330 bp PCR product was successfully amplified from DNA templates prepared from bacterial colonies and soil slurry culture. This system provides a direct and rapid PCR-based molecular tool for tracking Pandoraea sp. strain LIN-3 in water and soils. These results have implied implications for the treatment of soils and water contaminated with HCH isomers.     

Biodegradation Mechanism of Phenanthrene by Halophilic <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hortaea</Emphasis> sp. B15

This aim of the study is to investigate a halophilic bacterium Hortaea sp. B15, isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil for biodegradation of phenanthrene. Hortaea sp. B15 has the ability to completely degrade phenanthrene (100 mg/L) under salinity 10% within 1-week incubation. The metabolitic product of phenanthrene was identified and assayed by using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and mass spectral analysis. Result revealed that Hortaea sp. B15 metabolized phenanthrene to form 9,10-phenanthrene quinone, salicylic acid, and gentisic acid. Hortaea sp. B15 has an efficient utilization of phenanthrene in high-saline liquid medium. All the results indicated that the fungus has a promising application for the study of high-molecular-weight PAH biodegradation and contaminated saline-alkali soil bioremediation.
