Extensive applications of pesticides have led to the contamination of ecosystem. Therefore, the isolation of new pesticide degrading bacteria is important. For the biodegradation of α-endosulfan and α-cypermethrin, new bacteria isolates were isolated from grasshopper (Poecilimon tauricola). According to different tests, these isolated bacteria were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa B5, Acinetobacter johnsonii B6, Acinetobacter schindleri B7, Bacillus megaterium B9 and Brevibacillus parabrevis B12. The first two of these bacteria have been isolated as those that can use only α-endosulfan and the last two only use α-cypermethrin. Moreover, A. schindleri B7 was determined to be able to degrade both pesticides. When glucose was added to non-sulfur medium containing α-endosulfan (100 mg/L) and minimal salt medium containing α-cypermethrin (100 mg/L), both pesticide degradation and bacterial growth was increased. As a result, A. schindleri, a new gram negative bacterium, can inevitably be used in the biological treatment of environments exposed to pesticides.
