Application of a bacterial strain S3 to degrading several kinds of organophosphate pesticides
A bacterial strain S3 in degradation of several kinds of organophosphate pesticides was studied.The results showed that the strain S3 could grow in culture liquid with methamidophos or dimethoate as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources,and the degradation of methamidophos was best,with 52.1% degradation rate.The strain S3 could significantly degrade three organophosphate pesticides in culture liquid with additional carbon and nitrogen,and the degradation of dichlorvos was best,with 70.3% degradation rate.
