Abstract
Pretilachlor and safener fenclorim are the main components of herbicides widely applied to control weeds. Although some pure cultures of bacteria and fungi which degraded these compounds under aerobic conditions were isolated, no isolated pretilachlor- and fenclorim-degrading bacterial strains under anaerobic condition had been available. In this study, the degradation of these compounds and the effects of them on bacterial community structures were investigated under anaerobic conditions. The dissipation rates of pretilachlor and fenclorim in slurries were in the order: soil from paddy field ≈ sediment from river > sediment from mangrove. Moreover, three pretilachlor-degrading bacterial strains (Pseudomonas sp. Pr1, Proteiniclasticum sp. Pr2 and Paracoccus denitrificans Pr3) and two fenclorim-degrading strains (Dechloromonas sp. Fe1 and Ralstonia pickettii Fe2) isolated from a slurry of paddy soil utilized the substrates as sole carbon and energy sources under anaerobic conditions. The degradation of pure pretilachlor and fenclorim at various concentrations by corresponding mixed pure cultures followed the Michaelis-Menten model, with the maximum degradation was 3.10 ± 0.31 µM/day for pretilachlor, and 2.08 ± 0.18 µM/day for fenclorim. During the degradation, 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) acetamide and 2,6-dimethylaniline were produced in pretilachlor degradation, and benzene was a product of fenclorim degradation. The synergistic degradation of both substrates by all isolated bacteria reduced the metabolites concentrations accumulated in media. This study provides valuable information on effects of pretilachlor and fenclorim on bacterial communities in soil and sediments, and degradation of these substrates by isolated bacteria under anaerobic condition.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2024; 117:81. [PMID: 38777900 DOI: 10.1007/s10482-024-01969-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, pale orange, rod-shaped strain EF6T, was isolated from a natural wetland reserve in Hebei province, China. The strain grew at 25-37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5-9 (optimum, pH 7), and in the presence of 1.0-4.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2%). A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain EF6T belongs to the genus Paracoccus, and the closest members were Paracoccus shandongensis wg2T with 98.1% similarity, Paracoccus fontiphilus MVW-1 T (97.9%), Paracoccus everestensis S8-55 T (97.7%), Paracoccus subflavus GY0581T (97.6%), Paracoccus sediminis CMB17T (97.3%), Paracoccus caeni MJ17T (97.0%), and Paracoccus angustae E6T (97.0%). The genome size of strain EF6T was 4.88 Mb, and the DNA G + C content was 65.3%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity, and average amino acid identity values between strain EF6T and the reference strains were all below the threshold limit for species delineation (< 32.8%, < 88.0%, and < 86.7%, respectively). The major fatty acids (≥ 5.0%) were summed feature 8 (86.3%, C18:1 ω6c and/or C18:1 ω7c) and C18:1 (5.0%) and the only isoprenoid quinone was Q-10. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids, five unidentified phospholipids, and an unidentified aminolipid. Strain EF6T displays notable resistance to benzoate and selenite, with higher tolerance levels (25 g/L for benzoate and 150 mM for selenite) compared to the closely related species. Genomic analysis identified six benzoate resistance genes (acdA, pcaF, fadA, pcaC, purB, and catA) and twenty selenite resistance and reduction-related genes (iscR, ssuB, ssuD, selA, selD and so on). Additionally, EF6T possesses unique genes (catA, ssuB, and ssuC) absent in the closely related species for benzoate and selenite resistance. Its robust resistance to benzoate and selenite, coupled with its genomic makeup, make EF6T a promising candidate for the remediation of both organic and inorganic pollutants. It is worth noting that the specific resistance phenotypes described above were not reported in other novel species in Paracoccus. Based on the results of biochemical, physiological, phylogenetic, and chemotaxonomic analyses, combined with comparisons of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the whole genome sequence, strain EF6T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paracoccus within the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Paracoccus benzoatiresistens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EF6T (= GDMCC 1.3400 T = JCM 35642 T = MCCC 1K08702T).

Abstract
Herbicides are applied for effective weed management in order to increase the crop yield. In recent decades, the overuse of these chemicals has posed adverse effects on different biotic components of the environment. Pretilachlor has been widely used during last few decades for weed management in paddy crop. Its excessive use may prove fatal for environment, various organisms, and nontarget plants. Thus, it is pertinent to know the extent to which herbicide residues remain in environment. The potential mobility and the release rate of herbicide in the soil are important factors governing ecotoxicological impact and degradation rate. Therefore, several techniques are being investigated for its effective removal from the contaminated sites. Furthermore, efforts have also been made to study the degradation of pretilachlor by various physicochemical processes, resulting into the formation of different types of metabolites. This review summarizes the available information on environmental fate, various degradation processes, microbial biotransformation, metabolites formed, ecotoxicological effects, techniques for detection in environmental samples, effect of safener, and various control release formulations for sustained release of pretilachlor in applied fields. The information so obtained will be very advantageous in deciding the future policies for safe and judicious use of the herbicide by maintaining health and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Coastal pollution caused by the importation of agricultural herbicides is one of the main environmental problems that directly affect the coastal primary productivity and even the safety of human seafood. It is urgent to evaluate the ecological risk objectively and explore feasible removal strategies. However, existing studies focus on the runoff distribution and risk assessment of specific herbicides in specific areas, and compared with soil environment, there are few studies on remediation methods for water environment. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the current situation of herbicide pollution in global coastal waters and the dose-response relationships of various herbicides on phytoplankton and higher trophic organisms from the perspective of ecological risks. In addition, we believe that compared with the traditional single physical and chemical remediation methods, biological remediation and its combined technology are the most promising methods for herbicide pollution remediation currently. Therefore, we focus on the application prospects, challenges, and management strategies of new bioremediation systems related to biology, such as constructed wetlands, membrane bioreactor processes, and microbial co-metabolism, in order to provide more advanced methods for reducing herbicide pollution in the water environment.

Amide herbicides: Analysis of their environmental fate, combined plant-microorganism soil remediation scheme, and risk prevention and control strategies for sensitive populations. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132452.

Abstract
In this study, we predicted the environmental fate of amide herbicides (AHs) using the EQC (EQuilibrium Criterion) model. We found that the soil phase is the main reservoir of AHs in the environment. Second, a toxicokinetic prediction indicated that butachlor have a low human health risk, while the alachlor, acetochlor, metolachlor, napropamide, and propanil are all uncertain. To address the environmental and human-health-related threats posed by AHs, 27 new proteins/enzymes that easily absorb, degrade, and mineralize AHs were designed. Compared with the target protein/enzyme, the comprehensive evaluation value of the new proteins/enzymes increased significantly: the absorption protein increased by 20.29-113.49%; the degradation enzyme increased by 151.26-425.22%; and the mineralization enzyme increased by 23.70-52.16%. Further experiments revealed that the remediating effect of 13 new proteins/enzymes could be significantly enhanced to facilitate their applicability under real environmental conditions. The hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, and polar solvation are the key factors influencing plant-microorganism remediation. Finally, the simulations revealed that appropriate consumption of kiwifruit or simultaneous consumption of ginseng, carrot, and spinach, and avoiding the simultaneous consumption of maize and carrot/spinach are the most effective means reduce the risk of exhibiting AH-linked toxicity.

Abstract
Chloroacetamide herbicides are widely used around the world due to their high efficiency, resulting in increasing levels of their residues in the environment. Residual chloroacetamides and their metabolites have been frequently detected in soil, water and organisms and shown to have toxic effects on non-target organisms, posing a serious threat to the ecosystem. As such, rapid and efficient techniques that eliminate chloroacetamide residues from the ecosystem are urgently needed. Degradation of these herbicides in the environment mainly occurs through microbial metabolism. Microbial strains such as Acinetobacter baumannii DT, Bacillus altitudinis A16, Pseudomonas aeruginosa JD115, Sphingobium baderi DE-13, Catellibacterium caeni DCA-1, Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila JS-1, Klebsiella variicola B2, and Paecilomyces marquandii can effectively degrade chloroacetamide herbicides. The degradation pathway of chloroacetamide herbicides in aerobic bacteria is mainly initiated by an N/C-dealkylation reaction, followed by aromatic ring hydroxylation and cleavage processes, whereas dechlorination is the initial reaction in anaerobic bacteria. The molecular mechanisms associated with bacterial degradation of chloroacetamide herbicides have been explored, with amidase, hydrolase, reductase, ferredoxin and cytochrome P450 oxygenase currently known to play a pivotal role in the catabolic pathways of chloroacetamides. The fungal pathway for the degradation of these herbicides is more complex with more diversified products, and the degradation enzymes and genes involved remain to be discovered. However, there are few reviews specifically summarizing the microbial degrading species and biochemical mechanisms of chloroacetamide herbicides. Here, we briefly summarize the latest progress resulting from research on microbial strain resources and enzymes involved in degradation of these herbicides and their corresponding genes. Furthermore, we explore the biochemical pathways and molecular mechanisms for biodegradation of chloroacetamide herbicides in depth, thereby providing a reference for further research on the bioremediation of such herbicides.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the frequent and excessive usage of pesticides has had detrimental effects on the soil and other habitats. In terms of removing organic contaminants from soil, non-thermal plasma has become one of the most competitive advanced oxidation methods. The study used dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to repair soil contaminated by butachlor (BTR). BTR degradation was investigated in actual soil under various experimental parameters. According to the results, DBD plasma treatment at 34.8 W destroyed 96.10% of BTR within 50 min, and this degradation was consistent with the model of first order kinetics. Boosting the discharge power, lowering the initial BTR concentration, using appropriate soil moisture content and air flow rate, and using oxygen as the working gas for discharge are all beneficial to the degradation of BTR. The changes in soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) before and after plasma treatment were assessed using a total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer. A Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) were employed to investigate the degradation of BTR. A wheat growth test showed that the best growth was achieved at 20 min of plasma soil remediation, but too long treatment would lower soil pH and thus affect wheat growth.

B2 on the bioremediation of pretilachlor-contaminated soil. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 856:159086. [PMID: 36179826 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159086] [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: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The pretilachlor has been widely used worldwide and has contaminated the environment for many years. The environmental fate of pretilachlor and its residues removal from the contaminated environment have attracted great concern. Reportedly, pretilachlor could partly be transformed to HECDEPA by Rhodococcus sp. B2. However, the effects of pretilachlor on soil bacterial communities and its complete metabolic pathway remain unknown. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of driving synergistic degradation of pretilachlor by strain B2 in the soil. The results revealed that pretilachlor showed a negative effect on bacterial communities and caused significant variations in the community structure. Strain B2 showed the ability to remediate the pretilachlor-contaminated soils and network analysis revealed that it may drive the enrichment of potential pretilachlor-degrading bacteria from the soil. The soil pretilachlor degradation may be facilitated by the members of the keystone families Comamonadaceae, Caulobacteraceae, Rhodospirillaceae, Chitinophagaceae, and Sphingomonadaceae. Meanwhile, Sphingomonas sp. M6, a member of the Sphingomonadaceae family, has been isolated from the strain B2 inoculation sample soil. The co-culture, comprising strain M6 and B2, could synergistic degrade pretilachlor within 30 h, which is the highest degradation rate. Strain M6 could completely degrade the HECDEPA via CDEPA and DEA. In the soil, a comparable pretilachlor degradation pathway may exist. This study suggested that strain B2 had the potential to drive the remediation of pretilachlor-contaminated soils.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and coccoid bacterial strain, designated XHP0099T, was isolated from the coastal water of the Yellow Sea, China. Growth occurred at 20-37 ℃ (optimum, 28 ℃), pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0), and with 0-7.0% NaCl (optimum, 2.0-3.0%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain XHP0099T was related to members of the genus Paracoccus and shared the highest sequence similarity with "P. siganidrum" M26 (98.2%), followed by P. alkanivorans 4-2 T (97.6%) and P. alkenifer DSM 11593 T (97.4%). The average nucleotide identity, amino acid identity, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of strain XHP0099T against related members in the genus Paracoccus were below the cut-off points proposed for the delineation of a novel species. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c/C18:1 ω6c), and C18:0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10 and the polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), aminolipid (AL) and unidentified polar lipids (L). The G + C content of the genomic DNA of strain XHP0099T was 66.0%. Genomic analysis suggested that strain XHP0099T harbored gene clusters for formaldehyde and the XoxF-type methanol oxidation and type 1 Calvin cycle, which could confer the methylotrophy pathway. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic, biochemical and chemotaxonomic analysis, strain XHP0099T represents a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus marinaquae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XHP0099T (= JCM 34661 T = GDMCC 1.2414 T = MCCC 1K05846T).

Abstract
Background: Aerobic or anaerobic digestion is involved in treating agricultural and municipal waste, and the addition of biocarriers has been proven to improve them further. We synthesized novel biocarriers utilizing zeolites and different inorganic binders and compared their efficiency with commercially available biocarriers in aerobic and anaerobic digestion systems. Methods: We examined BMP and several physicochemical parameters to characterize the efficiency of novel biocarriers on both systems. We also determined the SMP and EPS content of synthesized biofilm and measured the adherence and size of the forming biofilm. Finally, we characterized the samples by 16S rRNA sequencing to determine the crucial microbial communities involved. Results: Evaluating BMP results, ZSM-5 zeolite with bentonite binder emerged, whereas ZSM-5 zeolite with halloysite nanotubes binder stood out in the wastewater treatment experiment. Twice the relative frequencies of archaea were found on novel biocarriers after being placed in AD batch reactors, and >50% frequencies of Proteobacteria after being placed in WWT reactors, compared to commercial ones. Conclusions: The newly synthesized biocarriers were not only equally efficient with the commercially available ones, but some were even superior as they greatly enhanced aerobic or anaerobic digestion and showed strong biofilm formation and unique microbiome signatures.

Abstract
Alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl]acetamide] is a chloroacetanilide herbicide and has been widely used as a selective pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide to control weeds and grass. Due to its wide usage, direct application on the ground, high solubility in water, and moderate persistence, alachlor and its metabolites have been detected in various environments. Therefore, there is an increasing concern about the environmental fate of alachlor and its metabolites. Microbial biodegradation is a main method of removal of alachlor in the natural environment. In this study, we isolated new alachlor degrading bacterium and proposed a novel alachlor-degrading pathway. The alachlor-degrading bacterial strain, GC-A6, was identified as Acinetobacter sp. using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Acinetobacter sp. GC-A6 utilized alachlor as its sole carbon source and degraded 100 mg L−1 of alachlor within 48 h, which was the highest alachlor degradation efficiency. The degradation pathway of alachlor was studied using GC-MS analysis. Alachlor was initially degraded to 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) acetamide, which was further degraded to 2,6-diethylaniline and 7-ethylindoline, respectively. 2,6-Diethylaniline was transformed into N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) formamide. N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) formamide was a first-reported intermediate during the degrading pathway of alachlor by single isolate.

Abstract
Acetochlor, an important chloroacetamide herbicide (CAAH) widely used in agriculture, has resulted in environmental contamination, especially of anoxic habitats. In this study, a sulfate-reducing bacterium, designated as SRB-5, was isolated from anaerobic activated sludge and was identified as Cupidesulfovibrio sp. This bacterium possesses a novel anaerobic pathway capable of degrading acetochlor. In this pathway, sulfate is first reduced to sulfide, which attacks the C-Cl bond of acetochlor and abiotically forms acetochlor-thioalcohol and dis-S-acetochlor. These further undergo microbial degradation, producing the intermediates acetochlor ethanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-6-ethylaniline, and 2-ethylaniline. The degradation half-times of acetochlor (100 μM) by strain SRB-5 were 2.4 and 4.2 days in industrial wastewater and paddy sludge, respectively. Strain SRB-5 could also degrade alachlor, propisochlor, butachlor, pretilachlor, and metolachlor, and the degradation kinetics fit the pseudo-first-order kinetics equation. This work highlights the potential application of strain SRB-5 for the remediation of CAAHs-contaminated sites.

Abstract
Chloroacetamide herbicides (CAAHs) are important herbicides that were widely used to control agricultural weeds. However, their mass applications have seriously contaminated environment, and they are toxic to living beings. CAAHs are easy to enter anoxic environments such as subsoil, wetland sediment, and groundwater, where CAAHs are mainly degraded by anaerobic organisms. To date, there are no research on the anaerobic degradation of CAAHs by pure isolate and toxicity of anaerobic metabolites of CAAHs. In this study, the anaerobic degradation kinetics and metabolites of CAAHs by an anaerobic isolate BAD-10T and the toxicity of anaerobic metabolites were studied. Isolate BAD-10T could degrade alachlor, acetochlor, propisochlor, butachlor, pretilachlor and metolachlor with the degradation kinetics fitting the pseudo-first-order kinetics equation. The degradation rates of CAAHs were significantly affected by the length of N-alkoxyalkyl groups, the shorter the N-alkoxyalkyl groups, the higher the degradation rates. Four metabolites 2-ethyl-6-methyl-N-(ethoxymethyl)-acetanilide (EMEMA), N-(2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl)-acetamide (MEPA), N-2-ethylphenyl acetamide and 2-ethyl-N-carboxyl aniline were identified during acetochlor degradation, and an anaerobic catabolic pathway of acetochlor was proposed. The toxicity of EMEMA and EMPA for zebrafish, Arabidopsis and Chlorella ellipsoidea were obviously lower than that of acetochlor, indicating that the anaerobic degradation of acetochlor by isolate BAD-10T is a detoxification process. The work reveals the anaerobic degradation kinetics and catabolic pathway of CAAHs and highlights a potential application of Proteiniclasticum sediminis BAD-10T for bioremediation of CAAHs residue-contaminated environment.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates production from short and medium chain carboxylic acids by Paracoccus homiensis. Sci Rep 2022; 12:7263.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate an effect of short and medium chain carboxylic acids (CAs) rich stream derived from acidogenic mixed culture fermentation of acid whey on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) synthesis by Paracoccus homiensis and compare it with the impact of individual synthetic CAs. The obtained results confirmed that the analyzed bacterium is able to metabolize synthetic CAs as the only carbon sources in the growth medium with maximum PHAs production yields of 26% of cell dry mass (CDM). The replacement of the individual CAs by a CAs-rich residual stream was found to be beneficial for the Paracoccus homiensis growth. The highest biomass concentration reached about 2.5 g/L with PHAs content of 17% of CDM. The purified PHAs were identified as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by applying gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic spectra and UV–Vis spectra. Furthermore, a differential scanning calorimetric, thermogravimetric and water contact angle analysis proved that the extracted copolymers have useful properties. The obtained data are promising in the perspective of developing a microbial PHAs production as a part of an integrated valorization process of high CAs content waste-derived streams.

Abstract
Bio-Fenton reaction supported by glucose oxidase (GOx) for producing H2O2 was applied to degrade persistent chloroacetanilide herbicides in the presence of Fe (Ⅲ)-citrate at pH 5.5. There were pH decrease to 4.3, the production of 8 mM H2O2 and simultaneous consumption to produce •OH radicals which non-specifically degraded the herbicides. The degradation rates followed the order acetochlor ≈ alachlor ≈ metolachlor > propachlor ≈ butachlor with the degradation percent of 72.8%, 73.4%, 74.0%, 47.4%, and 43.8%, respectively. During the Bio-Fenton degradation, alachlor was dechlorinated and filtered into catechol via the production of intermediates formed through a series of hydrogen atom abstraction and hydrogen oxide radical addition reactions. The current Bio-Fenton reaction leading to the production of •OH radicals could be applied for non-specific oxidative degradation to various persistent organic pollutants under in-situ environmental conditions, considering diverse microbial metabolic systems able to continuously supply H2O2 with ubiquitous Fe(II) and Fe(III) and citrate.

Abstract
The genus Paracoccus represents a taxonomically diverse group comprising more than 80 novel species isolated from various pristine and polluted environments. The species are characterized as coccoid shaped Gram-negative bacteria with versatile metabolic attributes and classified as autotrophs, heterotrophs and/or methylotrophs. Present study highlights the up-to-date global taxonomic diversity and critically discusses the significance of genome analysis for identifying the genomic determinants related to functional attributes mainly bioplastic synthesis and biodegradation potential that makes these isolates commercially viable. The analysis accentuates polyphasic and genomic attributes of Paracoccus spp. which could be harnessed for commercial applications and emphasizes the need of integrating genome based computational analysis for evolutionary species and functional diversification. The work reflects on the underexplored genetic potential for bioplastic synthesis which can be harnessed using advanced genomic methods. It also underlines the degradation potential and possible use of naturally-occurring pollutant-degrading Paracoccus isolates for development of biodegradation system and efficient removal of contaminants. The work contemplates plausible use of such potent isolates to establish the plant-microbe interaction, contributing towards contaminated land reclamation. Overall; the work signifies need and application of genome analysis to identify and explore prospective potential of Paracoccus spp. for environmental application towards achieving sustainability.

Abstract
This study investigated indigenous functional microbial communities associated with the degradation of chloroacetamide herbicides acetochlor (ACE), S-metolachlor (S-MET) and their enantiomers in repeatedly treated soils. The results showed that biodegradation was the main process for the degradation of ACE, S-MET and their enantiomers. Eight dominant bacterial genera associated with the degradation were found: Amycolatopsis, Saccharomonospora, Mycoplasma, Myroides, Mycobacterium, Burkholderia, Afipia, and Kribbella. The S-enantiomers of ACE and S-MET were preferentially degraded, which mainly relied on Amycolatopsis, Saccharomonospora and Kribbella for the ACE S-enantiomer and Amycolatopsis and Saccharomonospora for the S-MET S-enantiomer. Importantly, the relative abundances of Amycolatopsis and Saccharomonospora increased by 146.3%-4467.2% in the S-enantiomer treatments of ACE and S-MET compared with the control, which were significantly higher than that in the corresponding R-enantiomer treatments (25.3%-4168.2%). Both metagenomic and qPCR analyses demonstrated that four genes, ppah, alkb, benA, and p450, were the dominant biodegradation genes (BDGs) potentially involved in the preferential degradation of the S-enantiomers of ACE and S-MET. Furthermore, network analysis suggested that Amycolatopsis, Saccharomonospora, Mycoplasma, Myroides, and Mycobacterium were the potential hosts of these four BDGs. Our findings indicated that Amycolatopsis and Saccharomonospora might play pivotal roles in the preferential degradation of the S-enantiomers of ACE and S-MET.

Abstract
An obligate anaerobic bacterial strain (BAD-6T) capable of degrading acetochlor and butachlor was isolated from an anaerobic acetochlor-degrading reactor. Cells were Gram-stain positive, straight to gently curved rods with flagella. The major fermentation products in peptone-yeast broth were acetate and butyrate. The optimum temperature and pH for growth was 30 °C and 7.2-7.5, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were C14:0 FAME, C16:0 FAME and cyc-9,10-C19:0 DMA. Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 4.80 Mb, a G + C content of 43.6 mol% and 4741 protein-coding genes. The most closely related described species on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences was Anaerovorax odorimutans NorPutT in the order Clostridiales of the class Clostridia with sequence similarity of 94.9%. The nucleotide identity (ANI) value and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) between the genomes of strain BAD-6T and Ana. odorimutans NorPutT were 70.9% and 15.9%, respectively. Based on the distinct differences in phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics between strain BAD-6T and related species, Sinanaerobacter chloroacetimidivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate the strain. Strain BAD-6T is the type strain (= CCTCC AB 2021092T = KCTC 25290T).

Abstract
An obligate anaerobic bacterial BAD-10 T was isolated from anaerobic acetochlor-degrading sludge. The strain was Gram-stain negative, curved rod-shaped, non-motile and non-spore-forming. Growth was observed in PYT medium at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.5), at 25-47 °C (37 °C) and with 0-1.0% NaCl (w/v, 0%). Strain BAD-10 T could degrade acetochlor. The major fermentation products from peptone-yeast (PY) medium were acetate and butyrate. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0 FAME, anteiso-C15:0 FAME and C16:0 FAME. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain BAD-10 T showed closest affiliation to Proteiniclasticum ruminis D3RC-2 T, with a sequence similarity of 97.6%. Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 2,983,986 bp, a G + C content of 51.4 mol% and protein-coding genes of 3,102. The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain BAD-10 T and Proteiniclasticum ruminis D3RC-2 T were 71.0% and 20.4%, respectively, which were below the standard thresholds for species differentiation. On the basis of phenotypic, physiological and phylogenetic evidence, strain BAD-10 T represents a novel species in the genus Proteiniclasticum, for which the name Proteiniclasticum sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. Strain BAD-10 T (= CCTCC AB 2021091 T = KCTC 25288 T) is the type strain of the proposed novel species.

Current insights into the microbial degradation for butachlor: strains, metabolic pathways, and molecular mechanisms. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:4369-4381. [PMID: 34021814 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11346-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The herbicide butachlor has been used in huge quantities worldwide, affecting various environmental systems. Butachlor residues have been detected in soil, water, and organisms, and have been shown to be toxic to these non-target organisms. This paper briefly summarizes the toxic effects of butachlor on aquatic and terrestrial animals, including humans, and proposes the necessity of its removal from the environment. Due to long-term exposure, some animals, plants, and microorganisms have developed resistance toward butachlor, indicating that the toxicity of this herbicide can be reduced. Furthermore, we can consider removing butachlor residues from the environment by using such butachlor-resistant organisms. In particular, microbial degradation methods have attracted much attention, with about 30 kinds of butachlor-degrading microorganisms have been found, such as Fusarium solani, Novosphingobium chloroacetimidivorans, Chaetomium globosum, Pseudomonas putida, Sphingomonas chloroacetimidivorans, and Rhodococcus sp. The metabolites and degradation pathways of butachlor have been investigated. In addition, enzymes associated with butachlor degradation have been identified, including CndC1 (ferredoxin), Red1 (reductase), FdX1 (ferredoxin), FdX2 (ferredoxin), Dbo (debutoxylase), and catechol 1,2 dioxygenase. However, few reviews have focused on the microbial degradation and molecular mechanisms of butachlor. This review explores the biochemical pathways and molecular mechanisms of butachlor biodegradation in depth in order to provide new ideas for repairing butachlor-contaminated environments. KEY POINTS: • Biodegradation is a powerful tool for the removal of butachlor. • Dechlorination plays a key role in the degradation of butachlor. • Possible biochemical pathways of butachlor in the environment are described.

Abstract
Acetochlor is a chloroacetamide herbicide that has been widely used for weed control in recent decades. The contamination from its residue in the environment has raised major serious concerns. The aerobic degradation of acetochlor has been well studied; however, little is known regarding its anaerobic degradation. In the study, anaerobic sludge with high acetochlor degradation efficiency was obtained by pressure acclimation in a continuous flow anaerobic reactor. The acetochlor degradation dynamics followed a first-order kinetic reaction equation. The acclimated sludge could degrade six chloroacetamide herbicides with the degradation efficiencies observed as alachlor > acetochlor > propisochlor > butachlor > pretilachlor > metolachlor, and the N-alkoxyalkyl structure of these herbicides significantly affected their biodegradability. Five metabolites, 2-ethyl-6-methyl-N-(ethoxymethyl)-acetanilide, N-(2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl) acetamide, N-2-ethylphenyl acetamide, N-2-ethylphenyl formamide and 2-ethyl-N-carboxyl aniline were identified, and a putative anaerobic acetochlor degradation pathway, initiated by dechlorination, was subsequently proposed. During acclimation, the community diversity of both eubacteria and archaea in the anaerobic sludge decreased, while the abundance of microbes belonging to genera Sporomusa, Sporobacterium, Dechloromonas, Azotobacter and Methanobacterium were significantly increased and dominated the acclimated sludge, and showing a positive correlation with the acetochlor degradation capacity. These findings should be valuable to elucidate the mechanisms associated with the anaerobic catabolism of acetochlor and facilitate the engineering application of anaerobic treatment for removing acetochlor from wastewater.

Abstract
Paracoccus sp. MKU1, a metabolically versatile bacterium that encompasses diverse metabolic pathways in its genome for the degradation of aromatic compounds, was investigated for catechol bioremediation here for the first time to our knowledge. Paracoccus sp. MKU1 degraded catechol at an optimal pH of 7.5 and a temperature of 37 °C, wherein 100 mg/L catechol was completely mineralized in 96 h but required 192 h for complete mineralization of 500 mg/L catechol. While investigating the molecular mechanisms of its degradation potential, it was unveiled that Paracoccus sp. MKU1 employed both the ortho and meta pathways by inducing the expression of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C12O) and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O), respectively. C23O expression at transcriptional levels was significantly more abundant than C12O, which indicated that catechol degradation was primarily mediated by extradiol cleavage by MKU1. Furthermore, poly(MAA-co-BMA)-GO (PGO) microcomposites containing Paracoccus sp. MKU1 were synthesized, which degraded catechol (100 mg/L) completely within 48 h with excellent recycling performance for three cycles. Thus, PGO@Paracoccus microcomposites proved to be efficient in catechol degradation at not only faster rates but also with excellent recycling performances than free cells. These findings accomplish that Paracoccus sp. MKU1 could serve as a potential tool for bioremediation of catechol-polluted industrial wastewater and soil.

Abstract
Chlorine dioxide has been reported as very efficiently removing pesticides and other organic compounds from water matrixes. Due to pesticide toxicity and potential toxicity of their degradation products, it is important to monitor these compounds as environmental pollutants in ground and surface waters. Evaluating the effects of chlorine dioxide treatment is necessary, and toxicity studies are used to ascertain the severity of effects of intermediates due to incomplete degradation of the parent compounds. In this paper, for the first time, chlorine dioxide is applied and evaluated for the removal of chloroacetamide herbicides (pethoxamid and metazachlor) from waters (deionized water and Sava River water). The degradation degree of herbicides was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, the main degradation products were identified using gas chromatography with a triple quadrupole mass detector, and the degree of mineralization was monitored by total organic carbon analysis. Four and two degradation products were identified after pethoxamid and metazachlor degradation, respectively. Total organic carbon analysis showed mineralization occurred, but it was incomplete. The mineralization and the characteristics of the degradation products obtained were tested using Daphnia magna and showed lower toxicity than the parent herbicides. The advantage of the applied treatment was a very high degradation percentage for pethoxamid removal from deionized water and Sava River water (100% and 97%, respectively), with higher mineralization efficiency (65%) than metazachlor. Slightly lower degradation efficiency in the Sava River water was due to chlorine dioxide oxidizing the herbicides and dissolved organic matter simultaneously.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated and filamentous-shaped bacterium, HX-16-21T, was isolated from activated sludge. Strain HX-16-21T was able to degrade gentisate, protocatechuic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid and herbicides quizalofop-p-ethyl and diclofop-methyl. The strain shared 97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to
Niastella vici
CCTCC AB 2015052T and less than 97 % similarities to other type strains. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain HX-16-21T belonged to the genus
Niastella
and formed a subclade with
N. vici
CCTCC AB 2015052T. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and six unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The draft genome of strain HX-16-21T was 8.1 Mb, and the G+C content was 43.5 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain HX-16-21T and
N. vici
CCTCC AB 2015052T were 80.6 and 26.8 %, respectively. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, strain HX-16-21T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus
Niastella
, for which the name Niastella caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HX-16-21T (=KCTC 72288T=ACCC 61580T).

Abstract
Malachite green is a common environmental pollutant that poses a great threat to non-target organisms, including humans. This study reports the characterization of a bacterial strain, Pseudomonas veronii JW3-6, which was isolated from a malachite green enrichment culture. This strain degraded malachite green efficiently in a wide range of temperature and pH levels. Under optimal degradation conditions (32.4 °C, pH 7.1, and inoculum amount of 2.5 × 107 cfu/mL), P. veronii JW3-6 could degrade 93.5% of 50 mg/L malachite green within seven days. Five intermediate products from the degradation of malachite green were identified: leucomalachite green, 4-(dimethylamino) benzophenone, 4-dimethylaminophenol, benzaldehyde, and hydroquinone. We propose a possible degradation pathway based on these findings. The present study is the first to report the degradation of malachite green by P. veronii and the identification of hydroquinone as a metabolite in the degradation pathway.

Abstract
Due to the increasing use of chlorinated organic compounds, environmental pollution is a key issue in agricultural and industrial areas. In this study, biodegradation of chloroacetanilide herbicides, such as alachlor and metolachlor, by eight fungal strains of Trichoderma spp. originating from different microorganism collections was investigated. The tested fungi converted 80-99% of alachlor and 40-79% of metolachlor after 7 days of incubation. Biotransformation of herbicides was performed mainly by dechlorination and hydroxylation reactions. Eight alachlor metabolites and four byproducts of metolachlor conversion were detected in Trichoderma cultures, including two metolachlor intermediates for the first time identified in fungi. Moreover, in the cultures of six Trichoderma strains supplemented with chloroacetanilides, a decrease in toxicity was observed toward tested Artemia franciscana crustaceans. Simultaneously, 7 days after the application of the spores of T. koningii IM 0956, T. citrinoviride IM 6325, T. harzianum KKP 534, T. viride KKP 792 and T. virens DSM 1963 the length of roots and shoots of rapeseed seedlings treated with alachlor or metolachlor significantly increased. All tested strains exhibited plant growth-promoting traits, such as siderophore production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) activity, and phosphate solubilization, even in the presence of chloroacetanilide herbicides.

Abstract
Microbial electrochemical technology provides an inexhaustible supply of electron acceptors, allowing electroactive microorganisms to generate biocurrent and accelerate the removal of organics. The treatment of wastewater contaminated by butachlor, which is a commonly used chloroacetamide herbicide in paddy fields, is a problem in agricultural production. In this study, butachlor was found to be removed efficiently (90 ± 1%) and rapidly (one day) in constructed single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs). After the addition of sodium acetate to MFCs with butachlor as the sole carbon source, electricity generation was recovered instead of increasing the degradation efficiency of butachlor. Meanwhile, the microbial community structure was changed in anodic and cathodic biofilms after the addition of butachlor, following the bioelectrochemical degradation of butachlor. High-throughput sequencing showed the proliferation of Paracoccus and Geobacter in MFCs with butachlor as the sole carbon source and of Thauera butanivorans in MFCs with butachlor and sodium acetate as concomitant carbon sources. These species possess the ability to oxidize different substituents of butachlor and have important potential use for the bioremediation of wastewater, sediments, and soils.

Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Paracoccus inhabit various pristine and anthropologically-shaped environments. Many Paracoccus spp. have biotechnological value and several are opportunistic human pathogens. Despite extensive knowledge of their metabolic potential and genome architecture, little is known about viruses of Paracoccus spp. So far, only three active phages infecting these bacteria have been identified. In this study, 16 Paracoccus strains were screened for the presence of active temperate phages, which resulted in the identification of five novel viruses. Mitomycin C-induced prophages were isolated, visualized and their genomes sequenced and thoroughly analyzed, including functional validation of their toxin-antitoxin systems. This led to the identification of the first active Myoviridae phage in Paracoccus spp. and four novel Siphoviridae phages. In addition, another 53 prophages were distinguished in silico within genomic sequences of Paracoccus spp. available in public databases. Thus, the Paracoccus virome was defined as being composed of 66 (pro)phages. Comparative analyses revealed the diversity and mosaicism of the (pro)phage genomes. Moreover, similarity networking analysis highlighted the uniqueness of Paracoccus (pro)phages among known bacterial viruses.

Abstract
For optimizing the reaction conditions of 2-methyl-6-ethylaniline (MEA) degradation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a response surface methodology with three factors and three levels was used in this research to establish a regression model, a ternary quadratic polynomial, in order to analyze temperature, H2O2 concentration and pH effects on MEA removal efficiency. The results showed that the regression model was significant (p < 0.0001), fitted well with experimental data and had a high degree of reliability and accuracy, and the data were reasonable with low errors. By analyzing interactions and solving the regression model, the maximum MEA removal efficiency was 97.90%, and the optimal conditions were defined as follows: pH 5.02, H2O2 concentration 13.41mM, and temperature 30.95 °C. Under the optimal conditions, the average MEA removal efficiency obtained from the experiments was 97.56%. This research can provide reference for the treatment of actual acetochlor industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The microbial fuel cell (MFC) provides an inexhaustible electron acceptor to generate current and enhance the degradation of organic compounds. In MFCs with metolachlor as the sole carbon source, the degradation efficiency accelerated by 98%, with 61-76% of enhancement for the degradates, ethane sulfonic acid and oxanilic acid, respectively. According to quantifying primary metabolites of deschloro and metolachlor-2-hydroxyas, dechlorination and alcoholization were deemed as antecedent steps of metolachlor bioelectrochemical degradation. The energy recovery was infeasible by sole addition of metolachlor (at 13 ± 4 °C from equivalent weight of 0.224 mg). In MFCs with metolachlor and sodium acetate as the concomitant carbon sources, the electricity generation recovered to a level comparable to the controls, instead of increasing the removal efficiency of metolachlor. These results suggest that a low-efficiently direct electron transfer occurred between electricigens and metolachlor degraders. The Illumina sequencing showed that species of Paracoccus and Aquamicrobium played a potential degradation effect, while Comamonas sp. replaced Geobacter sp. as the predominant electricigen after addition of metolachlor. This study demonstrates that MFCs could be used as a promising alternative for treatment of chloroacetanilide herbicide contaminated wastewaters by means of a rapidly established active bacterial community.

Abstract
The environmental fate of the extensively used chloroacetanilide herbicides (CH) has been a cause of increasing concern in the past decade because of their carcinogenic properties. Although microbes play important roles in CH degradation, Sphingomonas wittichii DC-6 was the first reported CH-mineralizing bacterium. In this study, the complete genome of strain DC-6 was sequenced and comparative genomic analysis was performed using strain DC-6 and other three partial CH-degrading bacteria, Sphingobium quisquiliarum DC-2, Sphingobium baderi DE-13, and Sphingobium sp. MEA3-1. 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain DC-2, MEA3-1, and DE-13 are closely related and DC-6 has relatively distant genetic relationship with the other three strains. The identified CH degradation genes responsible for the upstream and downstream pathway, including cndA, cmeH, meaXY, and meaAB, were all located in conserved DNA fragments (or genetic islands) in the vicinity of mobile element proteins. Protein BLAST in the NCBI database showed that cndA and cmeH were present in the genomes of other sequenced strains isolated from various habitats; however, the gene compositions in these host strains were completely different from those of other sphingomonads, and codon usage of genes for upstream pathway were also different from that of downstream pathway. These results showed that the upstream and downstream pathways of CH degradation in strain DC-6 have evolved by horizontal gene transfer and gene combination. In addition, the genes of the ring-cleavage pathway were not conserved and may have evolved directly from bacterial degradation of hydroxyquinol. The present study provides insights into the evolutionary strategy and microbial catabolic pathway of CH mineralization.

Abstract
Microbial inoculant preparation is a prerequisite for its application in large-scale bioremediation. In the present study, Sphingomonas sp. DC-6, an efficient acetochlor-degrading strain, was used to investigate the process of preparing the inoculant. Optimization of submerged fermentation (SmF) by response surface methodology (RSM) resulted in a first 22% increase in biomass of liquid inoculant. Then, a biomass increase of 2.18 times with 14.58% shortened incubation period was further obtained in optimized medium using a 7.5-l bioreactor. However, less than 0.4% viable cells in liquid inoculant survived after 180-days storage. Thus, optimized spray drying conditions were subsequently employed for the production of high viability powder (2.11 × 1012 cfu g- 1 powder) without additive and its survival ratio (SR) after 180-days storage was still maintained at 90.5%. Both the 180-days stored powder and the original powder showed the same degradation performance, being able to completely degrade 200 mg l- 1 acetochlor within 48 h. This study demonstrated that strain DC-6 was suitable for industrial production of bacteria powder and provided a potential approach for the preparation of pesticide-degrading microbial inoculant.

Abstract
Butachlor is a chloroacetamide herbicide used worldwide for controlling weeds in plants of rice, corn, soybean and other crops. In this study, indigenous bacterial species Ammoniphilus sp. JF was isolated from the agricultural fields of Punjab and identified using 16S ribosomal RNA analysis. The bacteria utilized butachlor as the sole carbon source and showed complete degradation (100 mg/L) within 24 h of incubation. Two intermediate products, namely 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-methylpropyl) ester and 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-phenol were observed at the end of butachlor degradation. To the best of author's knowledge, biodegradation of butachlor by indigenous Ammoniphilus sp. JF from the agricultural fields of Punjab has not been reported so far.

Abstract
The bacterial strain Sphingobium sp. YW16, which is capable of degrading monocrotophos, was isolated from paddy soil in China. Strain YW16 could hydrolyze monocrotophos to dimethylphosphate and N-methylacetoacetamide and utilize dimethylphosphate as the sole carbon source but could not utilize N-methylacetoacetamide. Strain YW16 also had the ability to hydrolyze other organophosphate pesticides. A fragment (7067 bp) that included the organophosphorus hydrolase gene, opdA, was acquired from strain YW16 using the shotgun technique combined with SEFA-PCR. Its sequence illustrated that opdA was included in TnopdA, which consisted of a transpose gene, a putative integrase gene, a putative ATP-binding protein gene, and opdA. Additionally, a conjugal transfer protein gene, traI, was located downstream of TnopdA. The juxtaposition of TnopdA with TraI suggests that opdA may be transferred from strain YW16 to other bacteria through conjugation. OpdA was able to hydrolyze a wide range of organophosphate pesticides, with the hydrolysis efficiency decreasing as follows: methyl parathion > fenitrothion > phoxim > dichlorvos > ethyl parathion > trichlorfon > triazophos > chlorpyrifos > monocrotophos > diazinon. This work provides the first report of opdA in the genus Sphingobium.

Abstract
The influence of soil environmental factors such as aeration on the ecology of microorganisms involved in the mineralization and degradation of the popular soil-applied pre-emergent herbicide, metolachlor is unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we utilized DNA-based stable isotope probing (SIP) where soil microcosms were incubated aerobically or anaerobically and received herbicide treatments with unlabeled metolachlor or 13C-metolachlor. Mineralization of metolachlor was confirmed as noted from the evolution of 14CO2 from 14C-metolachlor-treated microcosms and clearly demonstrated the efficient utilization of the herbicide as a carbon source. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms (T-RFLP) bacterial community profiling performed on soil DNA extracts indicated that fragment 307 bp from aerobic soil and 212 bp from anaerobic soil were detected only in the herbicide-treated (both unlabeled metolachlor and 13C-metolachlor) soils when compared to the untreated control microcosms. T-RFLP profiles from the ultracentrifugation fractions illustrated that these individual fragments experienced an increase in relative abundance at a higher buoyant density (BD) in the labeled fractions when compared to the unlabeled herbicide amendment fractions. The shift in BD of individual T-RFLP fragments in the density-resolved fractions suggested the incorporation of 13C from labeled herbicide into the bacterial DNA and enabled the identification of organisms responsible for metolachlor uptake from the soil. Subsequent cloning and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the 13C-enriched fractions implicated the role of organisms closely related to Bacillus spp. in aerobic mineralization and members of Acidobacteria phylum in anaerobic mineralization of metolachlor in soil.

Abstract
Nicosulfuron is a common environmental pollutant, posing a great threat to aquatic systems and causing significant damage to crops. This study reported a cold-adapted strain Oceanisphaera psychrotolerans LAM-WHM-ZC, which efficiently degrades nicosulfuron over a wide range of temperatures (5 to 40 °C). The Box-Behnken design method was used to optimize the degradation conditions. O. psychrotolerans LAM-WHM-ZC can degrade 92.4% and 74.6% of initially supplemented 100 mg/L nicosulfuron under the optimum and low temperature of 18.1 and 5 °C, respectively, within 7 days. O. psychrotolerans LAM-WHM-ZC was found to be highly efficient in degrading cinosulfuron, chlorsulfuron, rimsulfuron, bensulfuron methyl, and ethametsulfuron methyl. Metabolites from nicosulfuron degradation were identified by UPLC-MS, and a possible degradation pathway was proposed. Furthermore, O. psychrotolerans LAM-WHM-ZC can also degrade nicosulfuron in soil; 78.6% and 67.4% of the initial nicosulfuron supplemented at 50 mg/kg were removed at 18.1 and 5 °C, respectively, within 15 days.

A Novel Aerobic Degradation Pathway for Thiobencarb Is Initiated by the TmoAB Two-Component Flavin Mononucleotide-Dependent Monooxygenase System in Acidovorax sp. Strain T1. Appl Environ Microbiol 2017; 83:AEM.01490-17. [PMID: 28939603 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01490-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2017] [Accepted: 09/13/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Thiobencarb is a thiocarbamate herbicide used in rice paddies worldwide. Microbial degradation plays a crucial role in the dissipation of thiobencarb in the environment. However, the physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying thiobencarb degradation remain unknown. In this study, a novel thiobencarb degradation pathway was proposed in Acidovorax sp. strain T1. Thiobencarb was oxidized and cleaved at the C-S bond, generating diethylcarbamothioic S-acid and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (4CDA). 4CDA was then oxidized to 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4CBA) and hydrolytically dechlorinated to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4HBA). The identification of catabolic genes suggested further hydroxylation to protocatechuic acid (PCA) and finally degradation through the protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase pathway. A novel two-component monooxygenase system identified in the strain, TmoAB, was responsible for the initial catabolic reaction. TmoA shared 28 to 32% identity with the oxygenase components of pyrimidine monooxygenase from Agrobacterium fabrum, alkanesulfonate monooxygenase from Pseudomonas savastanoi, and dibenzothiophene monooxygenase from Rhodococcus sp. TmoB shared 25 to 37% identity with reported flavin reductases and oxidized NADH but not NADPH. TmoAB is a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent monooxygenase and catalyzed the C-S bond cleavage of thiobencarb. Introduction of tmoAB into cells of the thiobencarb degradation-deficient mutant T1m restored its ability to degrade and utilize thiobencarb. A dehydrogenase gene, tmoC, was located 7,129 bp downstream of tmoAB, and its transcription was clearly induced by thiobencarb. The purified TmoC catalyzed the dehydrogenation of 4CDA to 4CBA using NAD+ as a cofactor. A gene cluster responsible for the complete 4CBA metabolic pathway was also cloned, and its involvement in thiobencarb degradation was preliminarily verified by transcriptional analysis.IMPORTANCE Microbial degradation is the main factor in thiobencarb dissipation in soil. In previous studies, thiobencarb was degraded initially via N-deethylation, sulfoxidation, hydroxylation, and dechlorination. However, enzymes and genes involved in the microbial degradation of thiobencarb have not been studied. This study revealed a new thiobencarb degradation pathway in Acidovorax sp. strain T1 and identified a novel two-component FMN-dependent monooxygenase system, TmoAB. Under TmoAB-mediated catalysis, thiobencarb was cleaved at the C-S bond, producing diethylcarbamothioic S-acid and 4CDA. Furthermore, the downstream degradation pathway of thiobencarb was proposed. Our study provides the physiological, biochemical, and genetic foundation of thiobencarb degradation in this microorganism.

Abstract
Chemical herbicides are widely used to control weeds and are frequently detected as contaminants in the environment. Due to their toxicity, the environmental fate of herbicides is of great concern. Microbial catabolism is considered the major pathway for the dissipation of herbicides in the environment. In recent decades, there have been an increasing number of reports on the catabolism of various herbicides by microorganisms. This review presents an overview of the recent advances in the microbial catabolism of various herbicides, including phenoxyacetic acid, chlorinated benzoic acid, diphenyl ether, tetra-substituted benzene, sulfonamide, imidazolinone, aryloxyphenoxypropionate, phenylurea, dinitroaniline, s-triazine, chloroacetanilide, organophosphorus, thiocarbamate, trazinone, triketone, pyrimidinylthiobenzoate, benzonitrile, isoxazole and bipyridinium herbicides. This review highlights the microbial resources that are capable of catabolizing these herbicides and the mechanisms involved in the catabolism. Furthermore, the application of herbicide-degrading strains to clean up herbicide-contaminated sites and the construction of genetically modified herbicide-resistant crops are discussed.

Abstract
Due to the extensive use of chloroacetanilide herbicides over the past 60 years, bacteria have evolved catabolic pathways to mineralize these compounds. In the upstream catabolic pathway, chloroacetanilide herbicides are transformed into the two common metabolites 2-methyl-6-ethylaniline (MEA) and 2,6-diethylaniline (DEA) through N-dealkylation and amide hydrolysis. The pathway downstream of MEA is initiated by the hydroxylation of aromatic rings, followed by its conversion to a substrate for ring cleavage after several steps. Most of the key genes in the pathway have been identified. However, the genes involved in the initial hydroxylation step of MEA are still unknown. As a special aniline derivative, MEA cannot be transformed by the aniline dioxygenases that have been characterized. Sphingobium baderi DE-13 can completely degrade MEA and use it as a sole carbon source for growth. In this work, an MEA degradation-deficient mutant of S. baderi DE-13 was isolated. MEA catabolism genes were predicted through comparative genomic analysis. The results of genetic complementation and heterologous expression demonstrated that the products of meaX and meaY are responsible for the initial step of MEA degradation in S. baderi DE-13. MeaXY is a two-component flavoprotein monooxygenase system that catalyzes the hydroxylation of MEA and DEA using NADH and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) as cofactors. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis confirmed that MeaXY hydroxylates MEA and DEA at the para-position. Transcription of meaX was enhanced remarkably upon induction of MEA or DEA in S. baderi DE-13. Additionally, meaX and meaY were highly conserved among other MEA-degrading sphingomonads. This study fills a gap in our knowledge of the biochemical pathway that carries out mineralization of chloroacetanilide herbicides in sphingomonads.IMPORTANCE Much attention has been paid to the environmental fate of chloroacetanilide herbicides used for the past 60 years. Microbial degradation is considered an important mechanism in the degradation of these compounds. Bacterial degradation of chloroacetanilide herbicides has been investigated in many recent studies. Pure cultures or consortia able to mineralize these herbicides have been obtained. The catabolic pathway has been proposed, and most key genes involved have been identified. However, the genes responsible for the initiation step (from MEA to hydroxylated MEA or from DEA to hydroxylated DEA) of the downstream pathway have not been reported. The present study demonstrates that a two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenase system, MeaXY, catalyzes the para-hydroxylation of MEA or DEA in sphingomonads. Therefore, this work finds a missing link in the biochemical pathway that carries out the mineralization of chloroacetanilide herbicides in sphingomonads. Additionally, the results expand our understanding of the degradation of a special kind of aniline derivative.

Abstract
ZmGST34 is a maize Tau class GST gene and was found to be differently expressed between two maize cultivars differing in tolerance to herbicide metolachlor. To explore the possible role of ZmGST34 in maize development, the expression pattern and substrate specificity of ZmGST34 were characterized by quantitative RT-PCR and heterologous expression system, respectively. The results indicated that the expression level of ZmGST34 was increased ∼2-5-fold per day during the second-leaf stage of maize seedling. Chloroacetanilide herbicides or phytohormone treatments had no influence on the expression level of ZmGST34, suggesting that ZmGST34 is a constitutively expressed gene in maize seedling. Heterologous expression in Escherichia coli and in Arabidopsis thaliana proved that ZmGST34 can metabolize most chloroacetanilide herbicides and increase tolerance to these herbicides in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. The constitutive expression pattern and broad substrate activity of ZmGST34 suggested that this gene may play an important role in maize development in addition to the detoxification of pesticides.

Abstract
Microorganisms capable of degrading herbicides are essential to minimize the amount of chemical compounds that may leach into other environments. This work aimed to study the potential of sandy-loam soil fungi to tolerate the herbicide Herburon (50% diuron) and to degrade the active ingredient diuron. Verticillium sp. F04, Trichoderma virens F28, and Cunninghamella elegans B06 showed the highest growth in the presence of the herbicide. The evaluation of biotransformation showed that Aspergillus brasiliensis G08, Aspergillus sp. G25, and Cunninghamella elegans B06 had the greatest potential to degrade diuron. Statistical analysis demonstrated that glucose positively influences the potential of the microorganism to degrade diuron, indicating a cometabolic process. Due to metabolites founded by diuron biotransformation, it is indicated that the fungi are relevant in reducing the herbicide concentration in runoff, minimizing the environmental impact on surrounding ecosystems.

Abstract
Twenty-nine basidiomycetes were screened in surface and liquid cultures for their capability to biotransform the chloroacetamide herbicide Dimethenamid-P (DMTA-P). The basidiomycete Irpex consors converted 70% of the herbicide (0.5 g L-1 DMTA-P) in liquid cultures within 6 days, applying a minimal medium under non-ligninolytic conditions. Nine transformation products of DMTA-P were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the culture supernatants. The four main metabolites were isolated and subjected to GC-MS analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The analyses revealed that the thiophene ring was oxidized at three different positions. Metabolite M1 was identified as the S-oxide, which was isolable and relatively stable at room temperature. In metabolite M2, one methyl substituent of the thiophene ring was hydroxylated. The two metabolites M3A and M3B were diastereomers, but fully separated by HPLC. Here, oxidation of the aromatic CH carbon resulted in prototropic rearrangement to an αβ-unsaturated thiolactone. None of the three major metabolites of DMTA-P has been described before.
