Influence of isolated bacterial strains on the in situ biodegradation of endosulfan and the reduction of endosulfan- contaminated soil toxicity.
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 2018 September 31
The recently discovered endosulfan-degrading bacterial strains Pusillimonas sp. JW2 and Bordetella petrii NS were isolated from endosulfan-polluted water and soil environments. The optimal conditions for the growth and biodegradation activity of the strains JW2 and NS were studied in detail. In addition, the ability of the strains JW2 and NS to biodegrade endosulfan in soils during in situ bioremediation experiments was investigated. At a concentration of 2 mg of endosulfan per kilogram of soil, both JW2 and NS had positive effects on the degradation of endosulfan; JW2 degraded 100% and 91.5% of α- and β-endosulfan, respectively, and NS degraded 95.1% and 90.3% of α- and β-endosulfan, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) of soil samples showed the successful colonization of JW2 and NS, and the toxicity of the soil decreased, as determined by single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assays of Eiseniafetida and micronucleus (MN) assays of Viciafaba root tip cells. Furthermore, the metabolic products of the bacterially degraded endosulfan from the in situ experiments were identified as endosulfan ether and lactone. This study provided potentially foundational backgrounds information for the remediation of endosulfan-contaminated soil.
