Characterization of a Pyrethroid-Degrading Pseudomonas fulva Strain P31 and Biochemical Degradation Pathway of D-Phenothrin.

ABSTRACT: D-phenothrin is one of the most popular pyrethroid insecticides for its broad spectrum and high insecticidal activity. However, continuous use of D-phenothrin has resulted in serious environmental contamination and raised public concern about its impact on human health. Biodegradation of D-phenothrin has never been investigated and its metabolic behaviors remain unknown. Here, a novel bacterial strain P31 was isolated from active sludge, which completely degraded (100%) D-phenothrin at 50 mg?L-1 in 72 h. Based on the morphology, 16S rRNA gene and Biolog tests, the strain was identified as Pseudomonas fulva. Biodegradation conditions were optimized as 29.5°C and pH 7.3 by utilizing response surface methodology. Strain P31 depicted high tolerance and strong D-phenothrin degradation ability through hydrolysis pathway. Strain P31 degraded D-phenothrin at inhibition constant (Ki) of 482.1673 mg?L-1 and maximum specific degradation constant (qmax) of 0.0455 h-1 whereas critical inhibitor concentration remained as 41.1189 mg?L-1. The 3-Phenoxybenzaldehyde and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic butyl dacyl ester were identified as the major intermediate metabolites of D-phenothrin degradation pathway through high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Bioaugmentation of D-phenothrin-contaminated soils with strain P31 dramatically enhanced its degradation, and over 75% of D-phenothrin was removed from soils within 10 days. Moreover, the strain illustrated a remarkable capacity to degrade other synthetic pyrethroids, including permethrin, cyhalothrin, ?-cypermethrin, deltamethrin, fenpropathrin, and bifenthrin, exhibiting great potential in bioremediation of pyrethroid-contaminated environment.

Project description:Diethylstilbestrol (DES) can adversely affect the immune system of developing fetuses or even elicit toxic responses such as nerve toxicity and genotoxicity in human beings, thereby warranting methods to remove DES from the environments. The present study characterized a novel DES-degrading Bacillus subtilis JF and analyzed the degradation metabolites. The strain was collected at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (Collection number: CGMCC 7950). The environmental effects, such as DES concentrations, pH levels, and temperature, on the strain's degradation ability were tested. Degradation metabolites of DES by strain JF were analyzed via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid-chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS). Results indicated that B. subtilis JF can effectively degrade DES within a concentration of 25-200 mg/L. Increasing pH levels (pH > 7) are reported to increase the degradation rate of DES by the strain. The optimal temperature for strain JF to degrade DES was identified as 45°C. In this study, 4, 4'-hexene estrogen quinones (DESQ) and DES-4-semiquinone were speculated as two degradation metabolites of DES, and both can be completely degraded by strain JF. A slight reduction of DES in the blank system [DES cultured in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium without strain JF] was observed in this study. The reduction trend in the blank system only occurred during the first few days (about 4 days) and was considerably lesser than the decomposition and transformation effect of DES via strain JF. Furthermore, the metabolite DESQ could not be further decomposed in blank LB medium without strain JF. All the results demonstrate that complete degradation of DES in the fermentation broth occurs due to the function of strain JF rather than organic decomposition. In conclusion, the high efficiency of degradation and the potential to degrade DES completely indicates that strain JF has potential for the bioremediation of DES-contaminated environments (soil, river, and so on) and fermented foods.
