Aerobic debromination of deca-BDE: Isolation and characterization of an indigenous isolate from a PBDE contaminated sediment

Aerobic biotransformation of decabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-209) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

“…And strain DB-1 debrominated part of PBDE-209 at aerobic incubation using lactate as carbon source (Deng et al, 2011). Considering that the degradation of PBDE-209 by P. aeruginosa formed lower brominated congeners in our experiment, we presumed bromide ions would be produced during this process.…”

“…RR1 and ether-degrading strain Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans CB1190 were only able to transform a few brominated mono-and dibromodiphenyl ether congeners. In 2011, Deng et al (2011) isolated an indigenous strain DB-1 from PBDEs polluted sediment which could degrade PBDE-209 to lower-bromodiphenyl ethers using lactate, pyruvate and acetate as carbon sources under aerobic condition.…”

Microbial community shift with decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209) in sediments of the Pearl River estuary, China

“…In addition, the appearance of uncultured bacteria was not surprising. Because there was only one BDE 209 degradation bacteria, which have been isolated and identified up to now (Deng et al 2011). Therefore, further investigation should be applied to isolate more BDE 209 degradation bacteria from the environment.…”

Aerobic Degradation of 4-Monobrominated Diphenyl Ether: Identifying and Characterizing Three Strains Isolated from Populus tomentosa Phyllosphere

“…Third, different from the degrading strains isolated from the pollutant-contaminated soil, sewage treatment plant or places with contamination history [36,37,[39][40], the three strains were from the green and healthy Populus tomentosa phyllosphere, which means strains capable of degrading PBDEs are not exclusive to bacteria surviving in a heavily contaminated environment. For future phytoremediation which contains (but is not limited to) plant bodies and related microbial epiphytes, the original degrading strains from microbial epiphytes have one huge advantage: they have been a part of the bacterial community on the phyllosphere and they have adapted to the leaf surface environment.…”

“…Lysinibacillus fusiformis strain DB-1 can transform deca-BDE to lower brominated BDEs in aerobic conditions under the premise of using lactate, pyruvate, or acetate as carbon sources [36]. Sphingomonas sp.…”
