摘要
Degradation of cypermethrin was significantly enhanced in a coculture of Bacillus cereus ZH-3 and Streptomyces aureus HP-S-01. In the pure culture, longer half-lives (t1/2 = 32.6-43.0 h) of cypermethrin were observed, as compared to the mixed cocultures (t1/2 = 13.0 h). The optimal degradation conditions were determined to be 28.2 掳C and pH 7.5 based on response surface methodology (RSM). Under these conditions, the mixed cultures completely metabolized cypermethrin (50 mg L鈭?) within 72 h. Analysis of degradation products of cypermethrin indicated that the microbial consortium converted cypermethrin to 伪-hydroxy-3-phenoxy-benzeneacetonitrile, 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde and 4-phenoxyphenyl-2,2-dimethyl-propiophenone, and subsequently transformed these compounds with a maximum specific degradation rate (qmax), half-saturation constant (Ks) and inhibition constant (Ki) of 0.1051 h鈭?, 31.2289 mg L鈭? and 220.5752 mg L鈭?, respectively. This is the first report of a proposed pathway of degradation of cypermethrin by hydrolysis of ester linkage and oxidization of 3-phenoxybenzyl in a coculture. Finally, this coculture is the first described mixed microbial consortium capable of metabolizing cypermethrin.
