Abstract
Quinclorac (QNC) is a highly selective, hormonal, and low-toxic herbicide with a long duration. And the growth and development of subsequent crops are easily affected by QNC accumulated in the soil. In this paper, a QNC-degrading strain D was isolated and screened from the rice paddy soil. Through morphology, physiological and biochemical tests and 16Sr DNA gene analysis, strain D was identified as Cellulosimicrobium cellulans sp. And the QNC degradation characteristics of strain D were studied. Under the optimal culture conditions, the QNC-degrading rate was 45.9% after culturing for 21 days. The QNC-degrading efficiency of strain D in the field was evaluated by a simulated pot experiment. The results show that strain D can promote the growth of rice and QNC-degrading effectively. This research could provide a new bacterial species for microbial degradation of QNC and lay a theoretical foundation for further research on QNC remediation. Importance At present, some QNC-degrading bacteria have been isolated from different environments, but there are no reports of Cellulosimicrobium cellulans sp. bacterial that could degrade QNC. In this study, a new QNC-degradation strain was selected from the paddy soil. The degradation characteristics of strain D were studied in detail. The results shown that strain D had a satisfactory quinclorac-degrading efficiency. Two degradation products of QNC by strain D were identified by HPLC-Q-TOF/MS: 3-pyridylacetic acid (138.0548 m/z) and 3-ethylpyridine (108.0805 m/z), which have not been reported before. The strain D had a potential ability of quinclorac-degrading effectively in the quinclorac-polluted paddy field environment.
