Abstract:

The subject is to study the degradation of glyphosate by the rhizobacteria-promoting strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CLW17 and the molecular mechanism of the strain. The glyphosate degradation ability of strain CLW17 was evaluated by plate culture method and molybdenum antimony resistance colorimetric method. An optimized condition of degrading glyphosate by strain CLW17 was achieved by employing Plackett-Burman (PB) design, and central composite design (CCD). Bioinformatics analysis was carried out for understanding the key gene thiO in glyphosate degradation. Deletion mutant strain (CLW17ΔthiO) and complement strain (ΔthiO/thiO) were constructed, and their effects on glyphosate degradation were studied. The maximum concentration of glyphosate tolerance of strain CLW17 was 0.7%. The degradation rate of CLW17, CLW17ΔthiO and ΔthiO/thiO was 72.81%, 32.78% and 54.33%, respectively, under the optimal condition for glyphosate degradation. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that thiO gene encoded 366 amino acids and included signal peptide and transmembrane domain. CLW17 was capable of degrading glyphosate effectively. Moreover, thiO gene was closely related to glyphosate degradation ability. These findings can provide valuable bacterial resources for glyphosate pollution control and soil remediation.
