摘要
Chlorimuron-ethyl is a widely used herbicide in agriculture. However, uncontrolled chlorimuron-ethyl application causes serious environmental problems. Chlorimuron-ethyl can be effectively degraded by microbes, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we identified the possible pathways and key genes involved in chlorimuron-ethyl degradation by the Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans strain CHL1, a Methylocystaceae strain with the ability to degrade sulfonylurea herbicides. Using a metabolomics method, eight intermediate degradation products were identified, and three pathways, including a novel pyrimidine-ring-opening pathway, were found to be involved in chlorimuron-ethyl degradation by strain CHL1. Transcriptome sequencing indicated that three genes (atzF, atzD, and cysJ) are involved in chlorimuron-ethyl degradation by strain CHL1. The gene knock-out and complementation techniques allowed for the functions of the three genes to be identified, and the enzymes involved in the different steps of chlorimuron-ethyl degradation pathways were preliminary predicted. The results reveal a previously unreported pathway and the key genes of chlorimuron-ethyl degradation by strain CHL1, which have implications for attempts to enrich the biodegradation mechanism of sulfonylurea herbicides and to construct engineered bacteria in order to remove sulfonylurea herbicide residues from environmental media.
