Abstract

Microbial consortia isolated from aged phorate contaminated soil were used to degrade phorate. The consortia of three microorganisms (Brevibacterium frigoritolerans, Bacillus aerophilus and Pseudomonas fulva) could degrade phorate, and the highest phorate removal (between 97.65 and 98.31%) was found in soils inoculated with mixed cultures of all the three bacterial species. However, the mixed activity of any of two of these bacteria was lower than mixed consortia of all the three bacterial species. The highest degradation by individual mixed consortia of (B. frigoritolerans+B.aerophilus, B. aerophilus+P. fulva and B. frigoritolerans+P. fulva) appeared in soil between (92.28-94.09%, 95.45-97.15% and 94.08-97.42%, respectively). Therefore, inoculation of highly potential microbial consortia isolated from in situ contaminated soil could result in most effective bioremediation consortia for significantly relieving soils from phorate residues. This much high phorate remediation from phorate contaminated soils have never been reported earlier by mixed culture of native soil bacterial isolates.
