Bacteria able to utilize Aspon, Azodrin, Dasanit, diazinon, malathion, Orthene, parathion, Trithion, dimethoate, Dylox, methyl parathion, and Vapona as sole phosphorus sources were isolated from soil and sewage. Individual isolates used from 3 to 10 of these insecticides as sole phosphorus sources. The extent of growth of two Pseudomonas strains in media containing diazinon and malathion was in the range expected from the amount of insecticide supplied, and their proliferation resulted in disappearance of the chemical. Resting cells of the pseudomonads derived from cultures grown on diazinon or malathion but not orthophosphate caused extensive destruction of these two organophosphates in the presence or absence of chloramphenicol. Extracts of the two bacteria derived from organophosphate-grown cultures catalyzed the disappearance of Aspon, Azodrin, Dasanit, diazinon, malathion, Orthene, parathion, and Trithion but not dimethoate, Dylox, methyl parathion, and Vapona. Results from gas chromatographic analysis suggested that the extracts formed dimethyl phosphate from azodrin, dimethyl phosphorodithioate from malathion, diethyl phosphorodithioate from Trithion, and diethyl phosphorothioate from Dasanit, diazinon, and parathion. Dimethyl phosphate, dimethyl phosphorothioate , dimethyl phosphorodithioate, diethyl phosphate, and diethyl phosphorothioate were not used by the pseudomonads as sole phosphorus sources. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of Selected Organophosphorus Insecticides by Two Bacteria Isolated from Flooded Soil 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Flavobacterium sp. ATCC 27551 hydrolysed both diethyl (parathion and diazinon) and dimethyl (methyl parathion and fenitrothion) phosphorothioates while Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 29353 hydrolysed only diethyl (parathion and diazinon) phosphorothioates. Glucose inhibited the hydrolysis of parathion by Pseudomonas sp., but not by Flavobacterium sp. Evidently, the Flavobacterium hydrolase differs from that of Pseudomonas sp. The Pseudomonas sp. converted 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of glucose and to nitrite in its absence; 4-nitrophenol was not metabolized by the Flavobacterium sp. 相似文献

Some field strains ofRhizoglyphus robini in Taiwan, developed high multi-resistance to organophosphorus insecticides including diazinon, dimethoate, fenitrothion, malathion, methyl parathion, omethoate, parathion and prothiophos. The organophosphorus resistance of bulb mites remained stable when the pesticide pressure was relaxed. Changes of the susceptibility to several organophosphorus insecticides for a strain after relaxation of selection pressure for 3 and 27 generations were compared. Since susceptible bulb mites could not be found in the field, a reverse selection for susceptibility to diazinon was designed and conducted. Although heterogeneity was observed in the progeny of the mixed populations, the susceptibility of these reversely-selected mites increased slowly. A stable and susceptible strain was obtained after 26 generations of selection.Contribution No. 1412 from Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute. 相似文献

Phosphotriesterases catalyze the hydrolytic detoxification of phosphotriester pesticides and chemical warfare nerve agents with various efficiencies. The directed evolution of phosphotriesterases to enhance the breakdown of poor substrates is desirable for the purposes of bioremediation. A limiting factor in the identification of phosphotriesterase mutants with increased activity is the ability to effectively screen large mutant libraries. To this end, we have investigated the possibility of coupling phosphotriesterase activity to cell growth by using methyl paraoxon as the sole phosphorus source. The catabolism of paraoxon to phosphate would occur via the stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis of paraoxon to dimethyl phosphate, methyl phosphate, and then phosphate. The Escherichia coli strain DH10B expressing the phosphotriesterase from Agrobacterium radiobacter P230 (OpdA) is unable to grow when paraoxon is used as the sole phosphorus source. Enterobacter aerogenes is an organism capable of growing when dimethyl phosphate is the sole phosphorus source. The enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing dimethyl phosphate has been previously characterized as a nonspecific phosphohydrolase. We isolated and characterized the genes encoding the phosphohydrolase operon. The operon was identified from a shotgun clone that enabled E. coli to grow when dimethyl phosphate is the sole phosphorus source. E. coli coexpressing the phosphohydrolase and OpdA grew when paraoxon was the sole phosphorus source. By constructing a short degradative pathway, we have enabled E. coli to use phosphotriesters as a sole source of phosphorus. 相似文献

The interaction of O,O,S-trimethyl phosphorothioate and O,S,S-trimethyl phosphorodithioate, the impurities found in malathion, with DNA at pH 8.0, was investigated. Supercoiled PM2 DNA was incubated with these compounds at pH 8.0 at 37 degrees C and then the superhelicity of the modified DNA was determined by gel electrophoresis. Both compounds caused unwinding of supercoiled DNA in dose- and incubation time-dependent manner. O,S,S-trimethyl phosphorodithioate was a more potent agent than O,O,S-trimethyl phosphorothioate. At 37 degrees C following 2.0 hours incubation, 100 mM O,S,S-trimethyl phosphorodithioate produced fully unwound DNA, whereas at 200 mM O,O,S-trimethyl phosphorothioate produced 80% unwound DNA following 12 hours' incubation. At the same condition, 5 mM methyl methanesulfonate, a potent alkylating mutagen, produced fully unwound DNA following 1 hour incubation at 5 mM. These results indicated that there were chemical interactions between these agents and DNA. The possibility of the interaction of OOS-TMP being as a covalent intercalation as well as strand nicking was discussed. 相似文献

Frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in smokers exposed to pesticides in cotton fields 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Blood samples were collected from 50 smokers who were exposed to the pesticides DDT, BHC, endosulfan, malathion, methyl parathion, monocrotophos, quinolphos, dimethoate, phosphomidon, cypermethrin and fenvelrate. Samples were also collected from 20 non-smokers (control I) and 27 smokers (control II) who were unexposed to pesticides. Control II showed a significant increase in chromosomal aberrations when compared to control I. There was a significant increase in total chromosomal aberrations in smokers exposed to pesticides when compared to unexposed populations. 相似文献

An organophosphorus pesticide malathion biodegradation was investigated by using the bacteria Ochrobactrum sp. M1D isolated from a soil sample of peach orchards in Palampur, District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh (India). The bacterium was able to utilize malathion as the sole source of carbon and energy. The isolated bacterium was found psychrotolerant and could degrade 100% of 100 mg l−1 malathion in minimal salt medium at 20°C, pH 7·0 within 12 days with no major significant metabolites left at the end of the study. Through GCMS analysis, methyl phosphate, diethyl maleate, and diethyl 2-mercaptosuccinate were detected and identified as the major pathway metabolites. Based on the GCMS profile, three probable degradation pathways were interpreted. The present study is the first report of malathion biodegradation at both the psychrophilic and mesophilic conditions by any psychrotolerant strain and also through multiple degradation pathways. In the future, the strain can be explored to bio-remediate the malathion contaminated soil in the cold climatic region and to utilize the enzymatic systems for advanced biotechnology applications. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to evaluate the suitability of the unstable white-zeste system in Drosophila melanogaster by testing 4 organophosphorus insecticides for potential genotoxic activity: dimethoate, fenitrothion, malathion, and methyl parathion. In view of the high sensitivity to insecticides of the unstable zeste strain used in this assay and the negative results obtained in this work, the white-zeste system does not appear to be sufficiently accurate for the evaluation of the mutagenic potential of specifically toxic chemicals, like insecticides. 相似文献

Identification and characterization of chlorpyrifos-methyl and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol degrading Burkholderia sp. strain KR100 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A chlorpyrifos-methyl (CM) degrading bacterium (designated strain KR100) was isolated from a Korean rice paddy soil and was
further tested for its sensitivity against eight commercial antibiotics. Based on morphological, biochemical, and molecular
characteristics, this bacterium showed greatest similarity to members of the order Burkholderiales and was shown to be most
closely related to members of the Burkholderia cepacia group. Strain KR100 hydrolyzed CM to 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) and utilized TCP as the sole source of carbon for
its growth. The isolate was also able to degrade chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, fenitrothion, malathion, and monocrotophos at 300 μg/ml
but diazinon, dicrotophos, parathion, and parathion-methyl at 100 μg/ml. The ability to degrade CM was found to be encoded
on a single plasmid of ~50 kb, pKR1. Genes encoding resistance to amphotericin B, polymixin B sulfate, and tetracycline were
also located on the plasmid. This bacterium merits further study as a potential biological agent for the remediation of soil,
water, or crop contaminated with organophosphorus compounds because of its greater biodegradation activity and its broad specificity
against a range of organophosphorus insecticides. 相似文献

A laboratory culture of Catolaccus grandis (Burks), an ectoparasitoid of the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, was exposed to lethal and sublethal doses of insecticides and an insect growth regulator using a spray chamber bioassay. Materials tested were azinphos-methyl, endosulfan, fipronil, malathion, cyfluthrin, dimethoate, spinosad, methyl parathion, acephate, oxamyl, and tebufenozide. At full rates, spinosad was significantly less toxic to female C. grandis than other treatments except endosulfan. Fipronil and malathion were significantly more toxic to females than other treatments. Most of the chemicals tested were highly toxic to male C. grandis; spinosad was least toxic. At reduced rates, most of 4 selected chemicals tested were low in toxicity to C. grandis; however, a reduced rate of malathion was significantly more toxic to females than other treatments. No C. grandis pupae developed from parasitism during a 24-h treatment period with malathion or spinosad. The sex ratio of progeny from sprayed adults appeared to be unaffected by the treatments. 相似文献

Fungal utilization of organophosphate pesticides and their degradation byAspergillus flavus andA. sydowii in soil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
H. A. H. Hasan 《Folia microbiologica》1999,44(1):77-84
Fungal species were isolated which utilize organophosphate pesticides,viz. phosphorothioic (pirimiphos-methyl and pyrazophos), phosphorodithioic (dimethoate and malathion), phosphonic (lancer) and
phosphoric (profenfos) acid derivatives. Pesticide degradation was studiedin vitro andin vivo (soil).Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. sydowii, A. terreus, Emericella nidulans, Fusarium oxysporum andPenicillium chrysogenum were isolated from pesticide-treated wheat straw. The number ofA. sydowii colonies was significantly promoted by 1 mmol/L pirimiphos-methyl, pyrazophos, lancer, dimethoate and malathion when used
as phosphorus sources and by pirimiphos-methyl and pyrazophos when used as carbon sources. The number ofA. flavus colonies increased with 0.5 mmol/L lancer and malathion used as the only carbon sources.A. sydowii, A. niger, A. flavus, E. nidulans andF. oxysporum grew on, and utilized, 5 pesticides as phosphorus source and showed more than 50% mass growth.A. sydowii, A. flavus andF. oxysporum phosphatase hydrolyzed the pesticides suggesting that these species are important pesticide degraders.A. sydowii produced higher amounts of the phosphatase thanA. flavus andF. oxysporum. The enzyme was highly active against pyrazophos, lancer and malathion used as the only sources of organic phosphate.A. flavus andA. sydowii phosphatases efficiently hydrolyzed pesticides at 300 ppm in soil, the degradation at 1000 ppm was lower. Mineralization
of 1000 ppm pesticides in soil amended with wheat straw was higher than in nonamended soil. All added pesticides except profenfos
were degraded within 3 weeks. Lyophilized adapted biomass ofA. flavus andA. sydowii could thus be used for field biodegradation of these pesticides. 相似文献

Solid phase microextraction gas chromatographic analysis of organophosphorus pesticides in biological samples 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tsoukali H Theodoridis G Raikos N Grigoratou I 《Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences》2005,822(1-2):194-200
Headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was studied and optimised for the determination of four common organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in biological samples. Various parameters controlling SPME were studied: choice of SPME fiber, type and content of salt added, preheating and extraction time, desorption time, extraction temperature. Capillary gas chromatographic analysis with nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC-NPD) facilitates sensitive and selective detection of the OPPs: malathion, parathion, methyl parathion and diazinon. Fenitrothion was used as the internal standard. The method was applied to the determination of the pesticides in human biological specimens: whole blood, blood plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, liver and kidney. Limits of detection ranged from 2 to 55 ng/ml depending on pesticide and type of specimen. The developed methodology overcomes limitations and obstacles of conventional methods such as the use of organic solvents, the formation of emulsions and the tedious-cumbersome procedures. The proposed protocol is seen as an attractive alternative to be used in routine toxicological analysis. 相似文献

Numerous xenobiotic compounds, including the organophosphate insecticides O, O-diethyl-O-(2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl) phosphorothioate (diazinon) and O, O-diethyl-O-p-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate (parathion), appear to be degraded in the soil environment by an initial cometabolic attack. Comparing the mineralization rates of radiolabeled diazinon and parathion in root-free and in rhizosphere soil, we tested our hypothesis that, because of the presence of root exudates, the rhizosphere is an especially favorable environment for such co-metabolic transformations. The insecticides were added individually at 5 μg/g to sealed flasks containing either soil permeated by the root system of a bush bean plant or identical soil without roots. Periodically, the flask atmospheres were flushed through traps and the evolved 14CO2 was quantitated. Bush bean plant roots without associated rhizosphere microorganisms failed to produce a significant amount of 14CO2. During 1 month of incubation, rhizosphere flasks mineralized 12.9 and 17.9% of the added diazinon and parathion radiocarbon, respectively, compared to 5.0 and 7.8% by the soil without roots. The mineralization of parathion but not of diazinon was stimulated in a similar manner when soil without roots was repeatedly irrigated with a root exudate produced in aseptic solution culture. Viable counts of microorganisms on soil extract agar were not significantly altered by root permeation or by root exudate treatment of the soil, leaving population selection and/or enhanced cometabolic activity as the most plausible interpretations for the observed stimulatory effects. Rhizosphere interactions may substantially shorten the predicted half-lives of some xenobiotic compounds in soil. 相似文献

A continuous-culture device was used to select and enrich for microorganisms, from sewage and agricultural runoff, that were capable of using the organophosphorus insecticide parathion as a sole growth substrate. Parathion was dissimilated by the highly acclimated symbiotic activities of Pseudomonas stutzeri, which non-oxidatively and cometabolically hydrolyzed the parathion to ionic diethyl thiophosphate and p-nitrophenol, and P. aeruginosa, which utilized the p-nitrophenol as a sole carbon and energy source. Ionic diethyl thiophosphate was found to be inert to any transformations. Methyl parathion was dissimilated in an analogous way. The device functioned as a chemostat with parathion as the growth-limiting nutrient, and extraordinarily high dissimilation rates were attained for parathion (8 g/liter per day) and for p-nitrophenol (7 g/liter per day). This is the first report of parathion utilization by a defined microbial culture and by symbiotic microbial attack and of dissimilation of an organophosphorus pesticide in a chemostat. 相似文献

Duplex formation from the self-complementary 12mer d(CGCGAATTCGCG) (Dickerson dodecamer) in which all phosphodiester linkages were replaced by phosphorothioate or phosphorodithioate linkages was studied using variable-temperature 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Melting temperatures of the dodecamer, measured spectrophotometrically, showed significant decrease upon sulfur substitution (Tm 49 degrees C for the phosphorothioate and 21 degrees C for the phosphorodithioate, compared with 68 degrees C for the unmodified oligomer, in 1 M salt). Hyperchromicity observed upon melting of the dithioate was surprisingly low. NOESY spectra of the monothioate showed a cross-peak pattern characteristic for a right-handed duplex. Imino proton resonances of the duplex, shown by the mono- and the dithioate, were similar to those of the parent compound. In spite of monophasic melting curves, temperature dependence of the imino proton resonances and phosphorus resonances of the phosphorodithioate indicated heterogeneity with respect to base-pairing, compatible with the presence of a hairpin loop. Relaxation times (T1) of the imino protons in the phosphorothioate, determined by the saturation recovery method, were considerably shorter than in the unmodified oligomer. Base-pair lifetimes in the unmodified Dickerson dodecamer, determined by catalyst-dependent changes in relaxation rates of imino protons, were in the range of 2-30 ms at 20 degrees C. Strongly reduced base-pair lifetimes were found in the phosphorothioate analogue. 相似文献

Studies on the metabolism of diethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphorothionate (parathion) in vitro 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
R. A. Neal 《The Biochemical journal》1967,103(1):183-191
1. The metabolism of the phosphorothionate parathion in vitro was examined by using [(32)P]parathion and microsomes isolated from the livers of various animal species. 2. The major metabolic products of parathion in this system in vitro were identified as diethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (paraoxon), diethyl hydrogen phosphate, diethyl hydrogen phosphorothionate and p-nitrophenol. 3. The reaction leading to the formation of diethyl hydrogen phosphorothionate and p-nitrophenol requires the same cofactors (NADPH and oxygen) required for metabolism of parathion to its active anti-acetylcholinesterase paraoxon. 4. The enzyme activity towards parathion per unit weight of liver is increased some 65-130% by pretreatment of male rats with phenobarbital and 3,4-benzopyrene. 5. The metabolism of parathion is inhibited by incubation in a nitrogen atmosphere and in an atmosphere containing carbon monoxide. Pure oxygen is also inhibitory. These results are discussed in terms of a deficiency of oxygen for maximal activity as well as the lability of some component of the system to oxidation. 相似文献
