Abstract: A bacterial strain identified as Pseudomonas sp. RPT 52, was isolated from an agricultural field by soil enrichment technique. The bacterial strain was able to metabolize three different chlorinated pesticides; imidacloprid, endosulfan and coragen (belonging to neonicotinoid, organochlorine and anthranillic diamide categories, respectively). RPT 52 was able to degrade 46.5%, 96.6%, 92.7% and 80.16% of 0.5 mM of imidacloprid, endosulfan α, endosulfan β and coragen, respectively, in minimal medium over a period of 40 h, when provided as sole source of carbon and energy. Degradation kinetics showed that imidacloprid, endosulfan α and endosulfan β followed first order kinetics whereas coragen followed zero order kinetics. Toxicity studies show reduction in toxicity of the parent compound when degraded by RPT 52. Laboratory scale, soil microcosm studies showed that strain RPT 52 is a suitable candidate for bioremediation of endosulfan and coragen contaminated sites. Thus, RPT 52 holds potential for toxicity reduction in the affected environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
