Biodegradation of monocrotophos, cypermethrin & fipronil by Proteus myxofaciens VITVJ1: A plant - microbe based remediation.

ABSTRACT: Current study was focused on the degradation of pesticides such as Monocrotophos, Cypermethrin & Fipronil (M, C & F) using phyto and rhizoremediation strategies. The isolate Proteus myxofaciens (VITVJ1) obtained from agricultural soil was capable of degrading M, C & F. The bacteria exhibited resistance to all the pesticides (M, C & F) up to 1500 ppm and was also capable of forming biofilms. The degraded products identified using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) and FTIR was further used for deriving the degradation pathway. The end product of M, C & F was acetic acid and 3-phenoxy benzoic acid which was confirmed by the presence of functional groups such as C=O and OH. Seed germination assay revealed the non-toxic nature of the degraded products with increased germinatio
