Biodegradation of cypermethrin by immobilized cells of <italic>Micrococcus</italic> sp. strain CPN 1

Abstract: Pyrethroid pesticide cypermethrin is a environmental pollutant because of its widespread use, toxicity and persistence. Biodegradation of such chemicals by microorganisms may provide an cost-effective method for their detoxification. We have investigated the degradation of cypermethrin by immobilized cells of Micrococcus sp. strain CPN 1 in various matrices such as, polyurethane foam (PUF), polyacrylamide, sodium alginate and agar. The optimum temperature and pH for the degradation of cypermethrin by immobiliz… Show more

“…Proteomics study of strain SG4 has confirmed differential protein expressions in the presence of cypermethrin [17]. Other cypermethrin-degrading microbial genera mainly include Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Acinetobacter, Aspergillus, Trichoderma, and Candida [1,2,[44][45][46]. These microbes use pyrethroids as the sole sources of carbon and nitrogen to fulfill their nutritional requirements [1].…”

“…The increased degradation by immobilized PPO was due to the accelerated activity of PPO by AgNPs. Therefore, the addition of AgNPs to SA–PVA matrix significantly enhanced the degradation of p -cresol and complete degradation was achieved within 18 h. Immobilization provides a kind of membrane protection, which might be responsible for the stabilization of enzyme activity and better degradation rates in the immobilized enzyme (Mulla et al 2012; Hoskeri et al 2014; Tallur et al 2015). The surface morphology of PPO immobilized in SA–PVA–AgNPs bead shows more compact structure when compared with the surface of SA–PVA immobilized beads.…”

“…The storage stability and activity of the enzyme in SA–PVA–AgNPs was better than that of encapsulated in other matrices. The SA entrapped PPO showed that with increased number of cycles, the rate of degradation decreased, due to gradual leakage of PPO from these beads (Tallur et al 2015). The thermostability of immobilized PPO enzyme was apparently superior to that of free enzyme.…”

“…JQ-41, deltamethrin by Serratia marcescens Del-1, Del-2 and permethrin by Acinetobacter baumannii ZH-14. [11][12][13][14][15][16] Among the commercially available pyrethroids used as insecticides, esfenvalerate is the biologically most active stereoisomer of the pyrethroid fenvalerate. It is very effective against target species (Anticarsia gemmatalis, Scaptocoris castanea and Atarsocoris brachiariae), but it is also toxic to aquatic species, producing ecological imbalances.…”
