Microbial transformation of a fungicide-derived amine, dimethyl-p-phenylene diamine by Alcaligenes DM4

Abstract Microbial transformation of N , N -dimethyl- p -phenylene diamine (DMPDA), a microbial product formed from the fungicide fenaminosulf ( p -dimethylaminobenzenediazo sodium sulfonate) was studied by enriching microbes in soils treated with the amine. Microorganisms isolated from DMPDA-treated soil belonged to the genera of Micrococcus, Alcaligenes , and Corynebacterium . Of the various isolates, Alcaligenes DM₄ showed maximal growth on DMPDA utilizing it as sources of carbon and nitrogen. When grown in mineral salts basal medium containing 0.05% DMPDA to serve as carbon and nitrogen sources, Alcaligenes DM₄ grew exponentially up to 18 h. Even though the characterization of the complete pathway of microbial degradation of DMPDA could not be carried out due to the auto-oxidation of the compound, the initial transformation product of DMPDA by Alcaligenes DM₄ has been identified as a dimer. The dimer is generated into the culture medium presumably by the extra-cellular oxidase of Alcaligenes DM₄. It is suggested that the risk-benefit evaluation on the use of fenaminosulf is to be made taking into consideration the microbial transformations of the fungicide.     

杀菌剂敌磺钠及植物生长调节剂对茭白孕茭的影响

以‘龙茭二号’为研究对象,通过在茭白植株不同生长发育阶段分别喷施杀菌剂敌磺钠和植物生长调节剂,比较分析其对茭白结茭的促进效果。对6个不同处理组合及对照材料的株高、内源激素含量变化及结茭情况的统计分析发现：喷施一定浓度的敌磺钠对茭白结茭具有明显的促进作用,以敌磺钠（标准浓度）＋营养液和敌磺钠（标准浓度）对茭白结茭产量的提高最为明显。植物生长调节剂处理能明显促进茭白早期植株生长,但对最终株高影响不大。采用间接酶联免疫法对茭白茎部3种激素（IAA、ABA和GA3）含量进行的比较分析表明：敌磺钠处理能够明显降低ABA含量,但对IAA和GA3含量没有明显影响;茭白结茭前ABA含量的降低可能有助于茭白结茭。
