Biodegradation of the Commercial Phenoxy Herbicide 2,4-D by Microbial Consortium

미생물 컨소시엄에 의한 시판 페녹시계 제초제 2,4-D의 생물분해

The purpose of the work was to evaluate the feasibility of a biological treatment process for the phenoxy alkanoic herbicide 2,4-D(2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) as a commercial pesticide. The phenoxy herbicide was 2,4-D amine salts which contained 40%(vol/vol) 2,4-D and 60%(vol/vol) solvent. A microbial consortium has been derived by enrichment with 2,4-D. The consortium utilized 2,4-D as the sole source of carbon and energy. Optimal pH on the 2,4-D degradation was 7.0 in this experiment. As concentrations of 2,4-D were increased, the degradation by microbial consontium became inhibited. The amendment with yeast extract and ascorbic acid accelerated the degradation of 2,4-D. High performance liquid chromatography methodology was used to measure 2,4-D and it also resolved 2,4-DCP(2,4-dichlorophenol), the corresponding phenol as intermediate. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used for preliminary identification of the intermediate 2,4-DCP. UV scans of spent cultures showed that the maximum absorption of 2,4-D at the wavelength of 283 nm was decreased toward the end of incubation, but the consortium displayed no detectable spectral changes or peak shifts in the UV absorbance.

본 연구의 목적은 시판 퍼l녹시계 제초제 2,4-D의 생물학적 처리의 가능성을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 시판 페녹시계 제초제는 2,4-0 아민염 으로셔 2,4-0( 40%)와 용제 (60 % )로 구성 되었다. 2,4-D에서 농화배양에 의해 얻어진 미생물 컨소시염은 탄소원 빛 에너지원으로서 2,4-0를 이용하였다. 이 설험에서 2,4-D분해의 최적 pH 와 기 질농도는 각각 7.0과 54mg/ E 였다. Yeast extract와 ascorbic acid의 첨가는 2,4-0의 분해 와 미생물의 생장을 촉진시켰다. 2,4-0를 정량하기 위해 HPLC가 사용되었으며 그 과정에셔 중간대사물질로셔 2,4-0CP가 분리되었다. GC MS는 2,4-0CP를 입증하기 위하여 사용되였다. 배양중의 UV scans 결과, 2,4-0의 최대흡광치는 배양이 진행되는 동안 감소되었으나, spectral 및 peak 변화는 보여주지 않았다.
