The impact of organic amendment (sewage sludge or waste water) used to fertilize agricultural soils was estimated on the atrazine-degrading activity, the atrazine-degrading genetic potential and the bacterial community structure of soils continuously cropped with corn. Long-term application of organic amendment did not modify atrazine-mineralizing activity, which was found to essentially depend on the soil type. It also did not modify atrazine-degrading genetic potential estimated by quantitative PCR targeting atzA, B and C genes, which was shown to depend on soil type. The structure of soil bacterial community determined by RISA fingerprinting was significantly affected by organic amendment. These results showed that modification of the structure of soil bacterial community in response to organic amendment is not necessarily accompanied by a modification of atrazine-degrading genetic potential or activity. In addition, these results revealed that different soils showing similar atrazine-degrading genetic potentials may exhibit different atrazine-degrading activities.

Application of herbicide-degrading bacteria is an effective strategy to remove herbicide in soil. However, the ability of bacteria to degrade a herbicide is often severely limited in the presence of other pesticide. In this study, the atrazine-degrading strain Klebsiella varicola FH-1 and acetochlor-degrading strain Bacillus Aryabhatti LY-4 were used as parent strains to construct the recombinant RH-92 strain through protoplast fusion technology.

Herbicide atrazine restricts nutrient accumulation and thus inhibits the growth of sensitive crops. The application of organic fertilizer is a common measure that contributes to modulating abiotic tolerance of crops and providing nutrients, but its advantages in combination with atrazine degrading microorganisms as bio-organic fertilizer to alleviate atrazine stress on sensitive crops and the associated mechanisms are unknown. We investigated the beneficial effects of organic and bio-organic fertilizer (named DNBF10) containing Arthrobacter sp.

The viable and degradation potential of the strains which adhered to soil minerals are essential for eliminating organic pollutants from soil. Herein, the interaction (growth, biofilm formation and survive) of Arthrobacter sp. DNS10, an atrazine degrading strain, with three kinds of typical soil minerals, such as montmorillonite, kaolinite and goethite, as well as the atrazine degradation gene (trzN) expression of the strain in the minerals system were studied.

Microbial communities are pivotal in the biodegradation of xenobiotics including pesticides. In the case of atrazine, multiple studies have shown that its degradation involved a consortia rather than a single species, but little is known about how interdependency between the species composing the consortium is set up. The Black Queen Hypothesis (BQH) formalized theoretically the conditions leading to the evolution of dependency between species: members of the community called 'helpers' provide publicly common goods obtained from the costly degradation of a compound, while others called 'beneficiaries' take advantage of the public goods, but lose access to the primary resource through adaptive degrading gene loss.
