Microbial communities in pesticide-contaminated soils in Kyrgyzstan and bioremediation possibilities

Abstract: In Kyrgyzstan, many former storehouses and dump sites for obsolete pesticides exist. In 2009/2010, an inventory and assessment of these sites including risks of environmental hazard has been conducted by FAO and the World Bank. Monitoring revealed high concentration of pesticides listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The purpose of this research was to study the microbial structural complexes of the pesticide-contaminated soils in these dumping zones, and to search for and select microorganism’s dest… Show more

“…It has been well documented that Gemmatimonadetes as aerobic/anaerobic thermophilic bacteria grow well in drought conditions [34]. Phylum Firmicutes are enriched in the contaminated sites and they play various roles in bioremediation and stress tolerance [35]. Planctomycetes, an important anaerobic ammonium oxidation group, participate in the carbon cycle and mineral enrichment, which may be beneficial to plants via improving the concentration of available nutrients in drought-treated soils [36].…”

“…Pesticides can have a direct toxic or beneficial effect on microbial communities, similar to those reported for higher organisms. Some microbes, in particular, bacteria, can use pesticides as a source of nutrients that promote their growth and survival, while sensitive species can be damaged or destroyed by pesticides [1].…”
