Arthrobacter aurescens strain TC1 metabolizes atrazine to cyanuric acid via TrzN, AtzB, and AtzC. The complete sequence of a 160-kb bacterial artificial chromosome clone indicated that trzN, atzB, and atzC are linked on the A. aurescens genome. TrzN, AtzB, and AtzC were shown to be functional in Escherichia coli. Hybridization studies localized trzN, atzB, and atzC to a 380-kb plasmid in A. aurescens strain TC1.

Anthropogenic activities have led to serious contamination of halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs), such as PCBs, PBDEs, and HBCDs, in the mangrove wetland. Biodegradation of HOPs is generally driven by environmental microorganisms harboring dehalogenase genes. However, little is known if HOPs can affect the distributions of HOPs-degrading bacteria and dehalogenase genes in the mangrove wetlands.

Application of biochar and inoculation with specific microbial strains offer promising approaches for addressing atrazine contamination in agricultural soils. However, determining the optimal method necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their effects under similar conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar and Paenarthrobacter sp.

Atrazine residues running off the fields and entering water resources are a major threat to food security and the ecosystem. In this study, a psychrotrophic functional strain named KN0901 to remove atrazine residues was screened. KN0901 could degrade 30 mg·L atrazine in 4 days at 15ºC with 10 CFU·mL incubation.

Microbes are crucial in removing various xenobiotics, including pesticides, from the environment, specifically by mineralizing these hazardous pollutants. However, the specific procedure of microbe-mediated pesticide degradation and its consequence on the environment remain elusive owing to limitations in culturing techniques. Therefore, in this study, we have investigated i) the physicochemical and elemental compositions of PCAS (pesticide-contaminated agricultural soils) and NS (natural soils); ii) the bacterial communities and degradation pathways, as well as some novel biodegradation genes (BDGs) and pesticide degradation genes (PDGs) across two different landscapes (PCAS and NS) by applying high-throughput sequencing.
