Diversity of glyphosate-degrading bacteria and degradation genes from Xinjiang cotton field's unique soil environment.

ABSTRACT: To clarify the diversity of glyphosate-degrading bacteria and genes in arid and alkaline soil environments, an efficient bacterial community, named CW, was enriched from the long-term continually cropped saline-alkali cotton soil in Xinjiang. This community could degrade 500 mg/L of glyphosate within 36 h in MSM medium with a pH of 8.0. The CW community was mainly composed of over 20 genera belonging to the phyla Pseudomonadota, Bacillota, and Bacteroidota. Notable genera include Hyphomicrobium, Pseudoxanthomonas, and Aquamicrobium. From this community, twenty-four strains showing glyphosate-degrading ability, representing 9 different genera, were successfully isolated. Notably, 14 strains belonging to six specific genera- Aquamicrobium (6), Shinella (2), Pseudoxanthomonas (2), Nocardioide
