Abstract:

In order to take bioremediation of carbendazim contaminated soil, an bacterial strain XJ-D, capable of degrading carbendazim was isolated by continuous enrichment culture from grape vineyard soil, shihezi in xinjiang. Identification of bacterial strain was completed with Biolog analysis and comparison sequences of 16S rDNA and phylogenetic analysis. A bacterial strain of XJ-D was identified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. It could use carbendazim as sole carbon or nitrogen source. XJ-D can degrade 99.0% of carbendazim at concentrations of 600 mg/L in mineral salts medium within 11 days. It showed a high average degradation rate of 52.87 mg/(L?d) for XJ-D.
