Three parathion-degrading bacteria and eight pairs of bacteria showing syntrophic metabolism of parathion were isolated from rice field soils, and their genetic and phenotypic characteristics were investigated. The three isolates and eight syntrophic pairs were able to utilize parathion as a sole source of carbon and energy, producing p-nitrophenol as the intermediate metabolite during the complete degradation of parathion. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolates were related to members of the genera Burkholderia, Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Variovorax, and Ensifer. The chromosomal DNA patterns of the isolates obtained by polymerasechain-reaction (PCR) amplification of repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) sequences were distinct from one another. Ten of the isolates had plasmids. All of the isolates and syntrophic pairs were able to degrade parathion-related compounds such as EPN, p-nitrophenol, fenitrothion, and methyl parathion. When analyzed with PCR amplification and dot-blotting hybridization using various primers targeted for the organophosphorus pesticide hydrolase genes of previously reported isolates, most of the isolates did not show positive signals, suggesting that their parathion hydrolase genes had no significant sequence homology with those of the previously reported organosphophate pesticide-degrading isolates.

대전 근교의 농약으로 오염된 토양으로부터 파라치온을 분해하는 81균주를 분리한 후, 분리균주들중 파라치온 이용능이 가장 우수한 한 균주를 최종선별하였다. 최종 선별된 균은 생리생화학적 조사와 16S rRNA 염기 서열분석 등을 통하여 Pseudomonas rhodesiae H5로 확인되었다. Pseudomonas rhodesiae H5는 다양한 당을 이용하였으나 sorbose는 이용하지 못하였다. 또 이 균주는 ampicillin, spectinomycin, mito-mycin C에는 일부 저항성을 가지나 kanamycin, chloram-phenicol에는 저항성을 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 $BaCl_2$, LiCl, $MnSO_4$등의 중금속에서는 mg/ml 단위까지 강한 내성을 나타냈다. Pseudomonas rhodesiae H5의 최적 생장 조건은 3$0^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 이었고, 이 균주는 파라치온의 organophosphate bond를 가수분해하여 p-nitrophenol를 생성한 후 ortho-ring cleavage를 거쳐 중심대사에 연결되는 것으로 추정된다.

Twenty-seven fenitrothion-degrading bacteria were isolated from different soils, and their genetic and phenotypic characteristics were investigated. Analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence showed that the isolates were related to members of the genera Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Cupriavidus, Corynebacterium, and Arthrobacter. Among the 27 isolates, 12 different chromosomal DNA fingerprinting patterns were obtained by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) amplification of repetitive extra genic palindromic(REP) sequences. The isolates were able to utilize fenitrothion as a sole source of carbon and energy, producing 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol as the intermediate metabolite during the complete degradation of fenitrothion. Twenty-two of 27 isolates were able to degrade parathion, methyl-parathion, and p-nitrophenol but only strain BS2 could degrade EPN(O-ethyl-O-p-nitrophenyl phenylphosphorothioate) as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth. Eighteen of the 27 isolates had plasmids. When analyzed with PCR amplification and dot-blotting hybridization using various specific primers targeted to the organophosphorus pesticide hydrolase genes of the previously reported isolates, none of the isolates showed positive signals, suggesting that the corresponding genes of our isolates had no significant sequence homology with those of the previously isolated organophosphate pesticide-degrading bacteria.

Four diazinon-degrading bacteria were isolated from agricultural soil by using an enrichment technique. The biochemical analysis and molecular method including RFLP indicated that these isolates were identical, and one strain designated DI101 was selected for further study. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequencing indicated that the strain DI101 clearly belongs to the Serratia marcescens group. The ability of the strain to utilize diazinon as a source of carbon and phosphorus was investigated under different culture conditions. The DI101 strain was able to completely degrade 50 mg/l diazinon in MSM within 11 days with a degradation rate of 0.226 $day^{-1}$. The inoculation of sterilized soil treated with 100 mg/kg of diazinon with $10^6$ CFU/g DI101 resulted in a faster degradation rate than was recorded in non-sterilized soil. The diazinon degradation rate by DI101 was efficient at temperatures from 25 to $30^{\circ}C$ and at pHs from 7.0 to 8.0. The degradation rate of diazinon was not affected by the absence of a phosphorus supplement, and addition of other carbon sources (glucose or succinate) resulted in the slowing down of the degradation rate. The maximum degradation rate ($V_{max}$) of diazinon was 0.292 $day^{-1}$ and its saturation constant ($K_s$) was 11 mg/l, as determined by a Michaelis-Menten curve. The strain was able to degrade diethylthiophosphate-containing organophosphates such as chlorpyrifos, coumaphos, parathion, and isazofos when provided as a source of carbon and phosphorus, but not ethoprophos, cadusafos, and fenamiphos. These results propose useful information for the potential application of the DI101 strain in bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated environments.
