Abstract

The objective of this study was to construct a microbial consortium for effective biodegradation of chlorpyrifos (CP) and its hydrolysis product, 3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP). A activated sludge from an organophosphorus pesticide factory was domesticated under long-term (20 weeks) CP stress, and the dynamic change in bacterial communities was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Then, a microbial consortium MC-BSPK was constructed of Bacillus sp. MC-B, Serratia sp. MC-S, Pseudomonas sp. MC-P, and Klebsiella sp. MC-K, which were significantly enriched during the domestication process. The biodegradation capacities of the microbial consortium MC-BSPK reached 100% for CP within 9 days and 88.61% for TCP within 15 days under the optimized degradation conditions (pH 8.0 and 31 °C). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that CP could be degraded by the microbial consortium MC-BSPK into TCP, probably through hydrolysis of the P-O ester bond, and further degraded into other small molecules. A bioassay revealed that the virulence of CP toward Drosophila melanogaster W1118 was clearly reduced by the microbial consortium MC-BSPK biodegradation. Thus, the easily constructed microbial consortium MC-BSPK with high CP...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
