Metabolism of oxyfluorfen by actinobacteria <i>Micrococcus</i> sp. F3Y.

ABSTRACT: Oxyfluorfen, a potent diphenyl ether herbicide, has raised significant environmental concerns due to its persistence, toxicity to non‒target organisms, and potential carcinogenicity. Microbial degradation plays a crucial role in mitigating its impact, yet complete mineralization pathways remain poorly understood. In this study, we isolated Micrococcus sp. F3Y, an oxyfluorfen‒degrading actinobacterium, and evaluated its degradation efficiency in yeast powder‒supplemented mineral medium (YPM) medium and oxyfluorfen‒contaminated soil. Optimal conditions, pH, temperature, initial optical density (OD_600nm) were determined. Metabolites were analyzed via UPLC/Q‒TOF MS, and a putative gene cluster was identified through draft genome sequencing. Strain F3Y completely degraded 100
