Biodegradation of cyromazine was investigated in liquid cultures using three melamine-degrading bacteria sp. MCO, sp. CSP and sp. ATD6. Experiments were performed aerobically in a mineral medium with glucose as a carbon source and cyromazine as the sole nitrogen source. All three strains of bacteria degraded cyromazine. Cyromazine at 23 mg/L completely disappeared by sp. MCO within 7 days. The bacterial density of all three strains increased with degradation of the cyromazine. The cyromazine metabolite -cyclopropylammeline was detected and identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). This is the first report on the use of sp. and sp. for cyromazine degradation and the occurrence of bacterial growth with cyromazine degradation.
