Degradation of the Herbicide, Alachlor, by Soil Microorganisms -Part I. Degradation in the flooded paddy soils-

제초제 Alachlor의 토양미생물에 의한 분해 -제일보(第一報). 담수답토양에서의 분해-

Alachlor, 2-chloro-2, '6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide, which had been incubated in the flooded paddy soils yielded 1-formyl-2,3-dihydro-7-ethylindole, 2,6-diethylaniline, 2,6-diethylacetanilide, 2,6-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide, 2-hydroxy-2, '6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide, and three unidentifiable compounds as its degradation products. The water-soluble products of Alachlor in soil suspensions increased with incubation periods and similar results were obtained from the incubation of Rhizoctonia solani, as verified by use of the ring $-^{14}C-$labeled Alachlor. Streptomyces lavendulae Ru 3340-8 produced 2-hydroxy-2, '6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide as the major degradation product as much as 25%, whereas Bacillus brevis IFO 3331, Bacillus cruciviae, and Pseudomonas putida did not produce it.

담수답 토양중에서 배양된 Alachlor는 그 분해산물로 1-formyl-2, 3-dihydro-7-ethylindole, 2,6-diethylaniline, 2,6-diethylacetanilide, 2,6-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide, 2-hydroxy-2', 6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide, 그리고 삼종(三種)의 미확인 화합물을 생성하였다. 환(環)-$^{14}C$ 표식(標識) Alachlor의 사용으로 입증된 바와 같이 토양 현탁액중에서 Alachlor의 수용성 분해산물은 배양기간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였고 Rhizoctonia solani의 배양에서도 유사한 결과를 얻었다. Streptomyces lavendulae Ru3340-8은 주요분해산물로 2-hydroxy-2', 6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide를 최고 25%까지 생성하는 반면 Bacillus brevis IFO 3331, Bacillus cruciviae, 그리고 Pseudomonas putida는 그것을 생성하지 않았다.
