Abstract
The residual pesticides in soil can affect the natural microbiome composition and genetic profile that drive nutrient cycling and soil fertility. In the present study, metagenomic approach was leveraged to determine modulations in nutrient cycling and microbial composition along with connected nexus of pesticide, antibiotic, and heavy metal resistance in selected crop and fallow soils having history of consistent pesticide applications. GC-MS analysis estimated residuals of chlorpyrifos, hexachlorbenzene, and dieldrin showing persistent nature of pesticides that pose selective pressure for microbial adaptation. Taxonomic profiling showed increased abundance of pesticide degrading Streptomyces, Xanthomonas, Cupriavidus, and Pseudomonas across the selected soils. Genes encoding for pesticide degrading cytochrome p450, organophosphorus hydrolase, aldehyde dehydrogenase, and oxidase were predominant and positively correlated with Bacillus, Sphingobium, and Burkholderia. Nitrogen-fixing genes (nifH, narB, and nir) were relatively less abundant in crop soils, correlating to the decrease in nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Anabaena, Pantoea, and Azotobacter). Microbial enzymes involved in carbon (pfkA, gap, pgi, and tpiA) and phosphorus cycle (gmbh and phnJ) were significantly higher in crop soils indicating extensive utilization of pesticide residuals as a nutrient source by the indigenous soil microbiota. Additionally, presence of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance genes suggested potential cross-resistance under pressure from pesticide residues. The results implied selective increase in pesticide degrading microbes with decrease in beneficial bacteria that resulted in reduced soil health and fertility. The assessment of agricultural soil microbial profile will provide a framework to develop sustainable agriculture practices to conserve soil health and fertility.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 203:105989. [PMID: 39084792 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
The present study focused on the isolation and identification of CP and TCP bacteria degrading bacteria from the rhizospheric zone of aromatic grasses i.e. palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb. Wats), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) and vetiver (Chrysopogon zizaniodes (L.) Nash.). So that these isolates alone or in combination with the vegetation of aromatic grasses will be used to clean up CP-contaminated soils. The study also explored enzymatic activities, CO2 release, dechlorination potential, and degradation pathways of bacterial strains. A total of 53 CP-tolerant bacteria were isolated on their physical characteristics and their ability to degrade CP. The ten highly CP-tolerant isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pa608, three strains of Pseudomonas hibiscicola R4-721 from different rhizosphere, Enterococcus lectis PP2a, Pseudomonas monteilii NBFPALD_RAS131, Enterobacter cloacae L3, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PEG-390, Escherichia coli ABRL132, and Escherichia coli O104:H4 strain FWSEC0009. The CO2 emission and phosphatase activities of the isolates varied from 3.1 to 8.6 μmol mL-1 and 12.3 to 31 μmol PNP h-1, respectively in the CP medium. The degradation kinetics of CP by these isolates followed a one-phase decay model with a dissipation rate ranging from 0.048 to 0.41 d-1 and a half-life of 1.7-14.3 days. The growth data fitted in the SGompertz equation showed a growth rate (K) of 0.21 ± 0.28 to 0.91 ± 0.33 d-1. The P. monteilii strain had a faster growth rate while E. coli ABRL132 had slower growth among the isolates. The rate of TCP accumulation calculated by the SGompertz equation was 0.21 ± 0.02 to 1.18 ± 0.19 d-1. The Pseudomonas monteilii showed a lower accumulation rate of TCP. Among these, four highly effective isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pa608, Pseudomonas monteilii NBFPALD_RAS131, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PEG-390, and Pseudomonas hibiscicola R4-721. Illustrations of the degradation pathways indicated that the difference in metabolic pathways of each isolate was associated with their growth rate, phosphatase, dehydrogenase, oxidase, and dechlorination activities.

PGPR-Enabled bioremediation of pesticide and heavy metal-contaminated soil: A review of recent advances and emerging challenges. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142678. [PMID: 38908452 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
The excessive usage of agrochemicals, including pesticides, along with various reckless human actions, has ensued discriminating prevalence of pesticides and heavy metals (HMs) in crop plants and the environment. The enhanced exposure to these chemicals is a menace to living organisms. The pesticides may get bioaccumulated in the food chain, thereby leading to several deteriorative changes in the ecosystem health and a rise in the cases of some serious human ailments including cancer. Further, both HMs and pesticides cause some major metabolic disturbances in plants, which include oxidative burst, osmotic alterations and reduced levels of photosynthesis, leading to a decline in plant productivity. Moreover, the synergistic interaction between pesticides and HMs has a more serious impact on human and ecosystem health. Various attempts have been made to explore eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable methods of improving plant health under HMs and/or pesticide stress. Among these methods, the employment of PGPR can be a suitable and effective strategy for managing these contaminants and providing a long-term remedy. Although, the application of PGPR alone can alleviate HM-induced phytotoxicities; however, several recent reports advocate using PGPR with other micro- and macro-organisms, biochar, chelating agents, organic acids, plant growth regulators, etc., to further improve their stress ameliorative potential. Further, some PGPR are also capable of assisting in the degradation of pesticides or their sequestration, reducing their harmful effects on plants and the environment. This present review attempts to present the current status of our understanding of PGPR's potential in the remediation of pesticides and HMs-contaminated soil for the researchers working in the area.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a highly toxic phosphate-rich organic pesticide (OP), identified as an emerging contaminant and used extensively in agricultural production. CPF persistence in the environment and its potential health hazards has become increasingly concerning worldwide in recent years due to exponential rise in food demand. Biodegradation of chlorpyrifos by microbial cultures is a promising approach to reclaiming contaminated soil and aquatic environments. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current understanding of microbiological aspects of xenobiotic chlorpyrifos biodegradation, including microbial diversity, metabolic pathways, and factors that modulate it. In both aerobic and anaerobic environments, CPF is biochemically broken down by a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. Hydrolysis, dehalogenation, and oxidation of chlorpyrifos are all enzymatic reactions that lead to its degradation. Biodegradation rate and efficiency are strongly influenced by parametric variables such as co-substrates abundance, pH, temperature, and initial chlorpyrifos concentration. The review provides evidence that microbial biodegradation is a viable method for remediating chlorpyrifos-contaminated sites in a sustainable and safe manner.

Abstract
Non-agricultural sources of pesticides in urban areas are responsible for their presence in domestic wastewater. Therefore, pesticides are typically found in sewage treatment plants in developed and developing countries as micro-pollutant. The presence of pesticides in the wastewater can impart stress on the aerobic sludge biomass and disrupt the functioning of the plant. However, there exists a knowledge gap regarding the resilience of aerobic sludge biomass towards stress due to the presence of pesticides in the wastewater. This study investigated the impact of chlorpyrifos (CPS) - a widely used pesticide, on sludge biomass and explored its recovery capability when CPS is discontinued in the influent. Four duplicate reactors were operated with different CPS concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 mg/L. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal for reactors has ranged within 18-73 % at the steady state of the stressed phase, whereas COD removal for the control reactor was 91 %. CPS stress slightly inhibited filamentous biomass growth. Biomass activity and cell viability have decreased significantly, whereas biochemical contents have varied slightly under CPS stress. The activities of the enzymes dehydrogenase and urease were significantly inhibited when compared to catalase and protease. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis reflected changes in the microbial community. The discontinuation of CPS has allowed aerobic sludge biomass to recover in its organic degradation capability (COD removal of more than 88 % at steady-state conditions of recovery phase operation), biomass growth, and cell viability. In addition, enzyme activities have retrieved to their original levels, and 78-93 % similarity of microbial community structure has been displayed between CPS-exposed and control reactor biomasses. Overall, the present study has indicated the orderly changes in the quality of aerobic sludge biomass under CPS stress through physico-chemical and biological characteristics. The study also has highlighted the self-recovery of sludge biomass characteristics stressed with different concentrations of CPS.

Abstract
Pesticides play a critical role in terms of agricultural output nowadays. On top of that, pesticides provide economic support to our farmers. However, the usage of pesticides has created a public health issue and environmental hazard. Chlorpyrifos (CPY), an organophosphate pesticide, is extensively applied as an insecticide, acaricide, and termiticide against pests in various applications. Environmental pollution has occurred because of the widespread usage of CPY, harming several ecosystems, including soil, sediment, water, air, and biogeochemical cycles. While residual levels in soil, water, vegetables, foodstuffs, and human fluids have been discovered, CPY has also been found in the sediment, soil, and water. The irrefutable pieces of evidence indicate that CPY exposure inhibits the choline esterase enzyme, which impairs the ability of the body to use choline. As a result, neurological, immunological, and psychological consequences are seen in people and the natural environment. Several research studies have been conducted worldwide to identify and develop CPY remediation approaches and its derivatives from the environment. Currently, many detoxification methods are available for pesticides, such as CPY. However, recent research has shown that the breakdown of CPY using bacteria is the most proficient, cost-effective, and sustainable. This current article aims to outline relevant research events, summarize the possible breakdown of CPY into various compounds, and discuss analytical summaries of current research findings on bacterial degradation of CPY and the potential degradation mechanism.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the most commonly used organophosphate pesticides. Because CPF was described as a toxic compound without safe levels of exposure for children, certain countries in Latin America and the European Union have banned or restricted its use; however, in Mexico it is used very frequently. The aim of this study was to describe the current situation of CPF in Mexico, as well as its use, commercialization, and presence in soil, water, and aquatic organisms in an agricultural region of Mexico. Structured questionnaires were applied to pesticide retailers to determine the sales pattern of CPF (ethyl and methyl); in addition, monthly censuses were conducted with empty pesticide containers to assess the CPF pattern of use. Furthermore, samples of soil (48 samples), water (51 samples), and fish (31 samples) were collected, which were analyzed chromatographically. Descriptive statistics were performed. The results indicate that CPF was one of the most sold (3.82%) and employed OP (14.74%) during 2021. Only one soil sample was found above the CPF limit of quantification (LOQ); in contrast, all water samples had CPF levels above the LOQ (x̄ = 4614.2 ng/L of CPF). In the case of fish samples, 6.45% demonstrated the presence of methyl-CPF. In conclusion, the information obtained in this study indicates the need for constant monitoring in the area, since the presence of CPF in soil, water, and fish constitutes a threat to the health of wildlife and humans. Therefore, CPF should be banned in Mexico to avoid a serious neurocognitive health problem.

Abstract
Increased anthropogenic activities are confronted as the main cause for rising environmental and health concerns globally, presenting an indisputable threat to both environment and human well-being. Modern-day industrialization has given rise to a cascade of concurrent environmental and health challenges. The global human population is growing at an alarming rate, posing tremendous pressure on future food security, and healthy and environmentally sustainable diets for all. To feed all, the global food production needs to increase by 50% by 2050, but this increase has to occur from the limited arable land, and under the present-day climate variabilities. Pesticides have become an integral component of contemporary agricultural system, safeguarding crops from pests and diseases and their use must be reduce to fulfill the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) agenda . However, their indiscriminate use, lengthy half-lives, and high persistence in soil and aquatic ecosystems have impacted global sustainability, overshot the planetary boundaries and damaged the pure sources of life with severe and negative impacts on environmental and human health. Here in this review, we have provided an overview of the background of pesticide use and pollution status and action strategies of top pesticide-using nations. Additionally, we have summarized biosensor-based methodologies for the rapid detection of pesticide residue. Finally, omics-based approaches and their role in pesticide mitigation and sustainable development have been discussed qualitatively. The main aim of this review is to provide the scientific facts for pesticide management and application and to provide a clean, green, and sustainable environment for future generations.

Abstract
The potential effects of engineered metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) on bacterial nitrogen fixation are of great concern. Herein, the impact and mechanism of the increasing-used MONPs, including TiO2, Al2O3, and ZnO nanoparticles (TiO2NP, Al2O3NP, and ZnONP, respectively), on nitrogenase activity was studied at the concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 mg L-1 using associative rhizosphere nitrogen-fixing bacteria Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501. Nitrogen fixation capacity was inhibited by MONPs in an increasing degree of TiO2NP < Al2O3NP < ZnONP. Realtime qPCR analysis showed that the expressions of nitrogenase synthesis-related genes, including nifA and nifH, were inhibited significantly when MONPs were added. MONPs could cause the explosion of intracellular ROS, and ROS not only changed the permeability of the membrane but also inhibited the expression of nifA and biofilm formation on the root surface. The repressed nifA gene could inhibit transcriptional activation of nif-specific genes, and ROS reduced the biofilm formation on the root surface which had a negative effect on resisting environmental stress. This study demonstrated that MONPs, including TiO2NP, Al2O3NP, and ZnONP, inhibited bacterial biofilm formation and nitrogen fixation in the rice rhizosphere, which might have a negative effect on the nitrogen cycle in bacteria-rice system.

New insights into the effects of chlorpyrifos on soil microbes: Carbon and nitrogen cycle related microbes in wheat/maize rotation agricultural field. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 318:120908. [PMID: 36549448 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Chlorpyrifos, a broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide, has been widely detected worldwide and is a potential neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor. Besides, chlorpyrifos has been proven that have a negative effect on soil microbes. In the present study, chlorpyrifos formulation (LORSBAN®, 45% emulsifiable concentrate) was applied in an agricultural field at the recommended dose (R dose, 270.0 and 337.5 g a.i. ha-1 for wheat and maize respectively) and double recommended (DR) dose. Chlorpyrifos residue level and effect on soil microbes related to soil carbon and nitrogen cycle function were analyzed. Results showed that the half-lives of chlorpyrifos in wheat and maize field soil were 7.23-8.23 and 1.45-1.77 d, respectively. Application of chlorpyrifos at even DR dose did not result in unacceptable residual chlorpyrifos, where the final residual chlorpyrifos in wheat/maize (leaf, stem, and grain) was meet the requirement of the maximum residual limit (0.5 mg kg-1 for wheat and 0.05 mg kg-1 for maize) in China. Chlorpyrifos enhanced the activity of β-glucosidase by increasing the relative abundance of Sphingosinicella and promoted the carbon cycle in wheat field. The changes of cbbLR and cbbLG gene abundance also confirmed that chlorpyrifos could affect the import and export of soil carbon pool. The effect of chlorpyrifos on soil N cycle was determined by changes in the abundance of the bacterial genus Gemmatimonas, which is associated with denitrification. Further analysis of N-cycle functional genes and urease activity showed that chlorpyrifos inhibited nitrogen fixation in wheat field, but promoted nitrogen fixation in maize field. In general, bacterial abundance, urease, and AOA-amoA gene could be early warning markers of chlorpyrifos contamination. The results demonstrated the negative effects of chlorpyrifos on soil microbes especially on soil C and N cycle in actual agricultural field. It provides new insights about chlorpyrifos environmental pollution and its effect on soil ecosystems.

Metabolomic Analysis Reveals the Effect of Insecticide Chlorpyrifos on Rice Plant Metabolism. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12121289. [PMID: 36557326 PMCID: PMC9786318 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12121289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Pesticides as important agricultural inputs play a vital role in protecting crop plants from diseases and pests; however, the effect of pesticides on crop plant physiology and metabolism is still undefined. In this study, the effect of insecticide chlorpyrifos at three doses on rice plant physiology and metabolism was investigated. Our results revealed that chlorpyrifos cause oxidative stress in rice plants and even inhibit plant growth and the synthesis of protein and chlorophyll at high doses. The metabolomic results suggested that chlorpyrifos could affect the metabolic profiling of rice tissues and a total of 119 metabolites with significant changes were found, mainly including organic acids, amino acids, lipids, polyphenols, and flavonoids. Compared to the control, the content of glutamate family amino acids were significantly disturbed by chlorpyrifos, where defense-related proline and glutathione were significantly increased; however, glutamic acid, N-acetyl-glutamic acid and N-methyl-glutamic acid were significantly decreased. Many unsaturated fatty acids, such as linolenic acid and linoleic acid, and their derivatives lysophospholipids and phospholipids, were significantly accumulated in chlorpyrifos groups, which could act as osmolality substances to help rice cells relieve chlorpyrifos stress. Three organic acids, aminobenzoic acid, quinic acid, and phosphoenolpyruvic acid, involved in plant defenses, were significantly accumulated with the fold change ranging from 1.32 to 2.19. In addition, chlorpyrifos at middle- and high-doses caused the downregulation of most flavonoids. Our results not only revealed the effect of insecticide chlorpyrifos on rice metabolism, but also demonstrated the value of metabolomics in elucidating the mechanisms of plant responses to stresses.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CP) is one of the Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) primarily used in agriculture to safeguard crops from pests and diseases. The pervasive use of chlorpyrifos is hazardous to humans and the environment as it inhibits the receptor for acetylcholinesterase activity, leading to abnormalities linked to the central nervous system. Hence, there is an ardent need to develop an effective and sustainable approach to the on-site degradation of chlorpyrifos. The role of microbes in the remediation of pesticides is considered the most effective and eco-friendly approach, as they have strong degradative potential due to their gene and enzymes naturally adapted to these sites. Several reports have previously been published on exploring the role of microbes in the degradation of CP. However, detection of CP as an environmental contaminant is an essential prerequisite for developing an efficient microbial-mediated biodegradation method with less harmful intermediates. Most of the articles published to date discuss the fate and impact of CP in the environment along with its degradation mechanism but still fail to discuss the analytical portion. This review is focused on the latest developments in the field of bioremediation of CP along with its physicochemical properties, toxicity, fate, and conventional (UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FTIR, NMR, GC-MS, etc) and advanced detection methods (Biosensors and immunochromatography-based methods) from different environmental samples. Apart from it, this review explores the role of metagenomics, system biology, in-silico tools, and genetic engineering in facilitating the bioremediation of CP. One of the objectives of this review is to educate policymakers with scientific data that will enable the development of appropriate strategies to reduce pesticide exposure and the harmful health impacts on both Human and other environmental components. Moreover, this review provides up-to-date developments related to the sustainable remediation of CP.

Abstract
Optimization of crop production in recent times has become essential to fulfil food demands of constantly increasing human populations worldwide. To address this formidable challenge, application of agro-chemicals including synthetic pesticides in intensive farm practices has increased alarmingly. The excessive and indiscriminate application of pesticides to foster food production however, leads to its exorbitant deposition in soils. After accumulation in soils beyond threshold limits, pesticides harmfully affect the abundance, diversity and composition and functions of rhizosphere microbiome. Also, the cost of pesticides and emergence of resistance among insect-pests against pesticides are other reasons that require attention. Due to this, loss in soil nutrient pool cause a substantive reduction in agricultural production which warrant the search for newer environmentally friendly technology for sustainable crop production. Rhizosphere microbes, in this context, play vital roles in detoxifying the polluted environment making soil amenable for cultivation through detoxification of pollutants, rhizoremediation, bioremediation, pesticide degradation, and stress alleviation, leading to yield optimization. The response of soil microorganisms to range of chemical pesticides is variable ranging from unfavourable to the death of beneficial microbes. At cellular and biochemical levels, pesticides destruct the morphology, ultrastructure, viability/cellular permeability, and many biochemical reactions including protein profiles of soil bacteria. Several classes of pesticides also disturb the molecular interaction between crops and their symbionts impeding the overall useful biological processes. The harmful impact of pesticides on soil microbes, however, is poorly researched. In this review, the recent findings related with potential effects of synthetic pesticides on a range of soil microbiota is highlighted. Emphasis is given to find and suggest strategies to minimize the chemical pesticides usage in the real field conditions to preserve the viability of soil beneficial bacteria and soil quality for safe and sustainable crop production even in pesticide contaminated soils.

Abstract
Abstract
Pesticides constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. However, there are still concerns about their effects on non-target organisms. To address this the European Commission has imposed a stringent regulatory scheme for new pesticide compounds. Assessment of the aquatic toxicity of pesticides is based on a range of advanced tests. This does not apply to terrestrial ecosystems, where the toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms, is based on an outdated and crude test (N mineralization). This regulatory gap is reinforced by the recent methodological and standardization advances in soil microbial ecology. The inclusion of such standardized tools in a revised risk assessment scheme will enable the accurate estimation of the toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms and on associated ecosystem services. In this review we (i) summarize recent work in the assessment of the soil microbial toxicity of pesticides and point to ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as most relevant bioindicator groups (ii) identify limitations in the experimental approaches used and propose mitigation solutions, (iii) identify scientific gaps and (iv) propose a new risk assessment procedure to assess the effects of pesticides on soil microorganisms.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) was the most frequently used pesticide in food production in the European Union (EU) until 2020. Unfortunately, this compound is still being applied in other parts of the world. National monitoring of pesticides conducted in various countries indicates the presence of CPF in soil, food, and water, which may have toxic effects on consumers, farmers, and animal health. In addition, CPF may influence changes in the population of fungi, bacteria, and actinomycete in soil and can inhibit nitrogen mineralization. The mechanisms of CPF activity are based on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. This compound also exhibits reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and genotoxicity. The problem seems to be the discrepancy between the actual observations and the final conclusions drawn for the substance's approval in reports presenting the toxic impact of CPF on human health. Therefore, this influence is still a current and important issue that requires continuous monitoring despite its withdrawal from the market in the EU. This review traces the scientific reports describing the effects of CPF resulting in changes occurring in both the environment and at the cellular and tissue level in humans and animals. It also provides an insight into the hazards and risks to human health in food consumer products in which CPF has been detected.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a common organophosphorus pesticide, is extensively used in agricultural practices. However, we lack sound evidence for the linkage between soil microbial diversity, soil function, and plant biomass under the influence of CPF, which prevents us from assessing the actual impact of CPF on agricultural production. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to test the effects of CPF on soil microbial diversity, soil function, and cotton biomass in indoor pot experiments. The use of CPF leads to a significant reduction in cotton biomass until the concentration of CPF used reaches 15 mg kg-1, and the cotton biomass is no longer significantly reduced. Compared with the original soil, the alpha-diversity of bacteria, which was significantly linearly related to cotton biomass, was significantly decreased when the soil was treated with 15 mg kg-1 CPF. Affected by CPF, the overall soil microbial composition has changed significantly. Acidobacteria, Nitrospirae, Planctomycetes, and Actinobacteria were significantly regulated after CPF treatment. Correspondingly, key soil functions, including nitrogen metabolism and iron (III) transporter, have been significantly down-regulated. The reduction of nitrogen and Fe3+ should deprive the cotton of essential nutrients during the short crop cycle and thus affect cotton biomass. Our study provides experimental evidence that CPF affects cotton rhizosphere soil microbial diversity, the relative content of key bacterial genera, and soil function, which shows that it has an important impact on plant biomass, and provides a reference for studying the actual impact of CPF on the environment and agricultural production.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CP) and its highly electrophilic intermediates are principal toxic metabolites. The active form of CP i.e. chlorpyrifos oxon (CP-oxon) is responsible for both the insecticidal activity and is also of greater risk when present in the atmosphere. Thus, the combined effects of both CP, CP-oxan, and other metabolites enhance our understanding of the safety and risk of the insecticide CP. They cause major toxicities such as AChE inhibition, oxidative stress, and endocrine disruption. Further, it can have adverse hematological, musculoskeletal, renal, ocular, and dermal effects. Excessive use of this compound results in poisoning and potentially kills a non-target species upon exposure including humans. Several examples of reactive metabolites toxicities on plants, aquatic life, and soil are presented herein. The review covers the general overview on reactive metabolites of CP, chemistry and their mechanism through toxic effects on humans as well as on the environment. Considerable progress has been made in the replacement or alternative to CP. The different strategies including antidote mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of CP poisoning are discussed in this review. The approach analyses also the active metabolites for the pesticide activity and thus it becomes more important to know the pesticide and toxicity dose of CP as much as possible.

Abstract
Petroleum hydrocarbon pollution is a global problem. However, the effects of different petroleum pollution levels on soil microbial communities and ecological functions are still not clear. In this study, we analyzed the changes in microbial community structures and carbon and nitrogen transformation functions in oil-contaminated soils at different concentrations by chemical analysis, high-throughput sequencing techniques, cooccurrence networks, and KEGG database comparison functional gene annotation. The results showed that heavy petroleum concentrations (petroleum concentrations greater than 20,000 mg kg-1) significantly decreased soil microbial diversity (p = 0.01), soil microbiome network complexity, species coexistence patterns, and prokaryotic carbon and nitrogen fixation genes. In medium petroleum contamination (petroleum concentrations of between 4000 mg kg-1 and 20,000 mg kg-1), microbial diversity (p > 0.05) and carbon and nitrogen transformation genes showed no evident change but promoted species coexistence patterns. Heavy petroleum contamination increased the Proteobacteria phylum abundance by 3.91%-57.01%, while medium petroleum contamination increased the Actinobacteria phylum abundance by 1.69%-0.26%. The results suggested that petroleum concentrations played a significant role in shifting soil microbial community structures, ecological functions, and species diversities.
