Abstract
Microbial degradation is a highly efficient and reliable approach for mitigating the contamination of sulfonylurea herbicides, such as chlorimuron-ethyl, in soil and water. In this study, we aimed to assess whether Kj-mhpC plays a pivotal role in the degradation of chlorimuron-ethyl. Kj-mhpC enzyme purified via prokaryotic expression exhibited the highest catalytic activity for chlorimuron-ethyl at 35 °C and pH 7. Bioinformatic analysis and three-dimensional homologous modeling of Kj-mhpC were conducted. Additionally, the presence of Mg+ and Cu2+ ions partially inhibited but Pb2+ ions completely inhibited the enzymatic activity of Kj-mhpC. LC/MS revealed that Kj-mhpC hydrolyzes the ester bond of chlorimuron-ethyl, resulting in the formation of 2-(4-chloro-6-methoxypyrimidine-2-amidoformamidesulfonyl) benzoic acid. Furthermore, the point mutation of serine at position 67 (Ser67) confirmed that it is the key amino acid at the active site for degrading chlorimuron-ethyl. This study enhanced the understanding of how chlorimuron-ethyl is degraded by microorganisms and provided a reference for bioremediation of the environment polluted with chlorimuron-ethyl.

High bioremediation potential of strain Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1 for soil polluted with metsulfuron-methyl or tribenuron-methyl in a pot experiment.

Abstract
Soil contamination caused by long-term application of metsulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl has become an issue of increasing concern. In our previous study, strain Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1, capable of efficiently degrading sulfonylurea herbicides, was isolated. Here, the bioremediation potential of strain CHL1 was assessed for soil polluted with metsulfuron-methyl or tribenuron-methyl in a pot experiment. The growth parameters of waxy maize were measured on day 21 of the pot experiment. Additionally, the residues of metsulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl in soils were analyzed, and the soil microbial community was investigated using a phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) method on days 1, 7, 14, and 21. The results indicated that strain CHL1 greatly accelerated the degradation of metsulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl in soils. The degradation rates in the treatments inoculated with strain CHL1were all more than 91% after 7 days, significantly higher than the 25-36% degradation measured in non-inoculated treatments. Furthermore, strain CHL1 reduced the negative effects of tribenuron-methyl and metsulfuron-methyl on waxy maize growth, especially the primary root length. Moreover, inoculation with strain CHL1 also reduced the effects of tribenuron-methyl and metsulfuron-methyl on soil microbial biomass, diversity, and community structure. The present study demonstrates that strain CHL1 has great potential application to remediate soil contaminated with metsulfuron-methyl or tribenuron-methyl.

Abstract
Excessive application of the long-term herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl has resulted in series of environmental problems. Bioaugmentation usually a useful method in contaminated-environment remediation. In this study, the strain Methanolivorans CHL1T with highly chlorimuron-ethyl degrading efficiency was employed to assess its remediation effects on chlorimuron-ethyl-contaminated soil. The chlorimuron-ethyl residues in the soils and the survival condition of strain CHL1T were detected. Meanwhile, the shifts of soil microbial catabolic profile were investigated by MicroResp™ analysis for the first time. The results indicated that strain CHL1T significantly shorten the half-life (6-17 days) of chlorimuron-ethyl and removed 95-100% of chlorimuron-ethyl by the end of the experiment. Meanwhile, the strain CHL1 could inhabit in soil steadily (4.2-4.7 × 107 per g dry soil) for a long time. The inoculation with strain CHL1 significantly shorten and relieved the disturbance effects of chlorimuron-ethyl on soil CLPPs. After inoculation with strain CHL1 60 days, the basal respiration rates and Shannon-Wiener indices of groups S10+ and S30+ had recovered to the control level. Even in the high chlorimuron-ethyl-treated groups (S100), the basal respiration rates and Shannon-Wiener indices were significantly higher in S100+ than that in S100-. These results show the outstanding remediation effects of strain CHL1 and provide new insights into the assessment of the remediation process of chlorimuron-ethyl contaminated soils.

Colonization on Cucumber Root and Enhancement of Chlorimuron-ethyl Degradation in the Rhizosphere by Hansschlegelia zhihuaiae S113 and Root Exudates. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2018; 66:4584-4591.

Abstract
The colonization of Hansschlegelia zhihuaiae S113 and its degradation of the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl in the cucumber rhizosphere was investigated. The results reveal that S113 colonized the cucumber roots (2.14 × 105cells per gram of roots) and were able to survive in the rhizosphere (maintained for 20 d). The root exudates promoted colonization on roots and increased the degradation of chlorimuron-ethyl by S113. Five organic acids in cucumber-root exudates were detected and identified by HPLC. Citric acid and fumaric acid significantly stimulated S113 colonization on cucumber roots, with 18.4 and 15.5% increases, respectively, compared with the control. After irrigation with an S113 solution for 10 days, chlorimuron-ethyl could not be detected in the roots, seedlings, or rhizosphere soil, which allowed for improved cucumber growth. Therefore, the degradation mechanism of chlorimuron-ethyl residues by S113 in the rhizosphere could be applied in situ for the bioremediation of chlorimuron-ethyl contaminated soil to ensure crop safety.

Dynamic changes in microbial communities during the bioremediation of herbicide (chlorimuron-ethyl and atrazine) contaminated soils by combined degrading bacteria. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0194753. [PMID: 29621247 PMCID: PMC5886453 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0194753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2017] [Accepted: 03/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Chlorimuron-ethyl and atrazine are two herbicides with long half-lives in soil; their long-term and excessive application has led to a series of environmental problems. In this study, the strains Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1 and Arthrobacter sp. ART1 were combined and used for the remediation of chlorimuron-ethyl, atrazine and combined contaminated soils in a microcosm experiment. Changes in chlorimuron-ethyl and atrazine concentrations in soils were monitored, and variations in the soil microbial community were studied by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis. The two inoculated degrading strains accelerated the degradation of chlorimuron-ethyl and atrazine in soil, especially in the combined contaminated soil. Addition of the two herbicides and their combination generally decreased the concentrations of total PLFAs, total bacterial PLFAs, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial PLFAs and Shannon-Wiener indices, and changed microbial community composition, whilst stimulating fungal PLFA concentrations. In addition, the combined herbicide treatment had more impact on microbial biomass than the single herbicide treatments. Inoculation treatments significantly relieved the effects of herbicides on soil microbial biomass, diversity and community structure. This study demonstrated that strains CHL1 and ATR1 have the potential to remediate chlorimuron-ethyl, atrazine and combined contaminated soils, and provided valuable information for remediation of chlorimuron-ethyl, atrazine and combined contaminated soils in situ.
