Biodegradation of carbendazim by a potent novel Chryseobacterium sp. JAS14 and plant growth promoting Aeromonas caviae JAS15 with subsequent toxicity analysis.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, carbendazim (MBC) degrading bacterial strains were isolated and identified as Chryseobacterium sp. JAS14 and Aeromonas caviae JAS15. Both the strains completely degraded 200 mg l^-1 of MBC in the aqueous medium and soil within 4-9 days of incubation. In an aqueous medium, the degradation process was characterized by a rate constant of 53.16 day^-1 and 42.60 day^-1, following zero order model and DT₅₀ was 1.8 days and 2.34 days for Chryseobacterium sp. JAS14 and A. caviae JAS15, respectively. A Chryseobacterium sp. JAS14 and A. caviae JAS15 inoculated into the soil without the addition of nutrients showed the degradation rate constant of 27.30 day^-1 and 23.87 day^-1,
