  • Title: Mineralization of chlorpyrifos by co-culture of Serratia and Trichosporon spp.
    Author: Xu G, Li Y, Zheng W, Peng X, Li W, Yan Y.
    Journal: Biotechnol Lett; 2007 Oct; 29(10):1469-73. PubMed ID: 17609859.
    Abstract:
    A bacterial strain (Serratia sp.) that could transform chlorpyrifos to 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) and a TCP-mineralizing fungal strain (Trichosporon sp.) were isolated from activated sludge by enrichment culture technique. The fungus could also degrade 50 mg chlorpyrifos l(-1) within 7 days. Co-cultures completely mineralized 50 mg chlorpyrifos l(-1) within 18 h at 30 degrees C and pH 8 using a total inocula of 0.15 g biomass l(-1).
