Abstract
The extensive use of chemical pesticides, such as herbicides, has resulted in significant environmental pollution. Microbial degradation represents a crucial approach for managing this pesticide-associated pollution, with enrichment culturing serving as a method for isolating pesticide-degrading microorganisms. However, the efficiency of this strategy is limited, often yielding only a few isolated strains. In this study, a new mineral salt medium (MSM) was developed, and a high-throughput method was used for screening pendimethalin-degrading bacteria by measuring the bacterial growth in the MSM. The utilization of this method resulted in the isolation of 56 pendimethalin-degrading bacteria from approximately 2000 bacterial strains, including 37 Bacillus spp., 10 Alcaligenes spp., 5 Pseudomonas spp., and other 4 strains identified for the first time as pendimethalin-degrading strains. This method may hold promise not only for isolating bacterial strains capable of degrading other pesticides but also for facilitating the utilization of the substantial bacterial strains stored in bacterial banks.
期刊介绍:
FEMS Microbiology Letters gives priority to concise papers that merit rapid publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and contribution to new developments in microbiology. All aspects of microbiology, including virology, are covered.
2019 Impact Factor: 1.987, Journal Citation Reports (Source Clarivate, 2020)
Ranking: 98/135 (Microbiology)
The journal is divided into eight Sections:
Physiology and Biochemistry (including genetics, molecular biology and ‘omic’ studies)
Food Microbiology (from food production and biotechnology to spoilage and food borne pathogens)
Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
Pathogens and Pathogenicity (including medical, veterinary, plant and insect pathogens – particularly those relating to food security – with the exception of viruses)
Environmental Microbiology (including ecophysiology, ecogenomics and meta-omic studies)
Virology (viruses infecting any organism, including Bacteria and Archaea)
Taxonomy and Systematics (for publication of novel taxa, taxonomic reclassifications and reviews of a taxonomic nature)
Professional Development (including education, training, CPD, research assessment frameworks, research and publication metrics, best-practice, careers and history of microbiology)
If you are unsure which Section is most appropriate for your manuscript, for example in the case of transdisciplinary studies, we recommend that you contact the Editor-In-Chief by email prior to submission. Our scope includes any type of microorganism - all members of the Bacteria and the Archaea and microbial members of the Eukarya (yeasts, filamentous fungi, microbial algae, protozoa, oomycetes, myxomycetes, etc.) as well as all viruses.
