阿特拉津AT-b3降解的分子机制与土壤污染的强化修复

Atrazine is the most widely used s-triazine herbicide for control of broadleaf weeds in resistant crops such as corn and sorghum. The widespread use of atrazine resulted in its frequent detection in both surface and ground waters beyond authorized limits, leading to potential human exposure. Toxicological studies raised major concern as atrazine was postulated to be a possible carcinogen, an endocrine disrupter and a teratogen. These facts have stimulated research on efficient bioremediation strategies for atrazine polluted environments in order to quickly prevent the dispersion of atrazine to non-atrazine application place and reduce its contamination to safe level..Microbial bioremediation is quite widely used for cleaning up contaminated soils, because it often is more efficient and less expensive than physicochemical remediation. This method is use microorganisms transform pesticide into CO2, H2O or other harmful substances, no secondary pollution. Microorganisms often respond to the input of xenobiotics into the environment by evolving mechanisms to use them as sources of nutrients and energy for their growth. Microbial degradation of atrazine and other s-triazine compounds is one of the major modes of their removal from the environment. But the degradation ability is highly affected by external environment, the degradation function of strains often decline or loss. Here we use molecular biological techniques parse the molecular mechanism of atrazine degradation, and build function enhancement strains, finally realizes the effective remediation of soil contamination..According to our earlier work, bacterial strains AT-b3 have been isolated from long term contaminated soil. AT-b3 exhibited an excellent ability to degrade atrazine. In atrazine concentration is 100 mg/L, degradation rate more than 90% in 48 h. Preliminary judgment AT-b3 is Pseudomonas bacteria. On this basis, the physical and chemical properties of AT-b3, 16S rDNA sequence homology, atrazine degradation rate and degradation products, degradation influence factors and key enzymes were determined, analysis of biological characteristics and degradation characteristics of AT-b3. Using SAGE method and qRT-PCR technology, comparison pollution and no pollution AT-b3 differentially expressed genes, screening the degradation genes, analysis of gene biology function and metabolic pathways, and reveal the metabolic network of atrazine degradation. Make degradation gene expression effectively, and strengthen remediation effect, by constructing inhibiting gene deletion strains. We use 16S rDNA gene cloning followed by restriction enzyme and sequence analysis to describe strains in soil colonization dynamics and the impact on indigenous microorganisms, environmental safety evaluation of fertilizer, and lay a foundation for further development and utilization.
