Enantioselective degradation of the herbicide mecoprop [2-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid] by mixed and pure bacterial cultures

Add time:07/28/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A consortium of three bacteria was isolated from top soil through their capacity to utilise the chlorinated, aromatic herbicide mecoprop as a single growth substrate. The consortium constituted a tight association of Alcaligenes denitrificans, Pseudomonas glycinea and Pseudomonas marginalis. The culture exclusively degraded the (R)-(+)-isomer of the herbicide while the (S)-(−)-enantiomer remained unaffected. The mecoprop-degrading community could also degrade 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and racemic 2-phenoxypropionic acid. Initially, no single member of the consortium was able to degrade mecoprop as a pure culture but after prolonged incubation, A. denitrificans was able to grow on the herbicide as the sole source of carbon and energy.
