Abstract:
      A cypermethrin-degrading endophytic bacteria was isolated from an insecticide factory in Shanghai, China. This isolate, designated as A-24, was identified as Achromobacter sp. based on morphological, physiological, biochemical characterization, and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence. The strain could degrade 91.8% of 20 mg·L-1 cypermethrin within 48 h, and completely degrade 20 mg·L-1 cypermethrin within 72 h. Strain A-24 could also utilize cypermethrin as the sole carbon source for growth. The optimum temperature and pH for cypermethrin degradation by strain A-24 were 30℃ and 7.0, respectively. When the inoculation volume was more than 2% and the cypermethrin concentration was less than 50 mg·L-1, strain A-24 could rapidly degrade cypermethrin. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis indicated that the strain degraded cypermethrin via hydrolysis of the carboxylester linkage to yield 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde, which was further converted into 3-phenoxybenzoic acid under the catalysis of a dehydrogenase. This study provides a new strategy for removal of cypermethrin residues from plants by endophytic bacteria.
