Synergistic Degradation of Pyrethroids by the Quorum Sensing-Regulated Carboxylesterase of Bacillus subtilis BSF01.

ABSTRACT: The well-studied quorum sensing (QS) mechanism has established a complex knowledge system of how microorganisms behave collectively in natural ecosystems, which contributes to bridging the gap between the ecological functions of microbial communities and the molecular mechanisms of cell-to-cell communication. In particular, the ability of agrochemical degradation has been one most attractive potential of functional bacteria, but the interaction and mutual effects of intracellular degradation and intraspecific behavior remained unclear. In this study, we establish a connection between QS regulation and biodegradation by harnessing the previously isolated Bacillus subtilis BSF01 as a template which degrades various pyrethroids. First, we characterize the genetic and transcriptional ba
