摘要
The long-term excessive use of chlorothalonil (CTN) can lead to serious environmental pollution, which presents a cause for concern. Here, we investigated the degradation of CTN by using an effective strain, TUAH-1, which was identified as Enterobacter cloacae according to the morphological approach, 16S rDNA gene sequence and phylogenetic tree analysis. Treatment with TUAH-1 demonstrated that the maximum processing capability was 74 mg CTN per gram dry cells in 48 h under optimum conditions (30 degrees C-35 degrees C, pH 7.0). After treatment with 21.3 mg dry cells, the degradation efficiency was 97.4% for 20 mg l(-1) CTN in the aqueous phase. Meanwhile, treatment with crude enzyme solution containing 2.0 mg ml(-1) protein led to complete degradation of 20.0 mg l(-1) CTN within 10 h, which is significantly faster than that of TUAH-1. The results also showed that CTN could not be detected after treatment with 5.68 g TUAH-1 per kg soil for 48 h when the original CTN content in the soil was 10 mg kg(-1). After treatment with THAH-1 or its crude proteins, many degradation products were detected by HPLC-MS, suggesting two possible degradation pathways. The mechanism of CTN degradation by TUAH-1 was noted to be multienzymatic catalysis comprising glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutathione S-transferase.
