ABSTRACT
The widespread application of neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) in agriculture causes a series of environmental and ecological problems. Microbial remediation is a popular approach to relieve these negative impacts, but the associated molecular mechanisms are rarely explored. Nitrile hydratase (NHase), an enzyme commonly used in industry for amide production, was discovered to be responsible for the degradation of acetamiprid (ACE) and thiacloprid (THI) by microbes. Since then, research into NHases in NEO degradation has attracted increasing attention. In this review, microbial degradation of ACE and THI is briefly described. We then focus on NHase evolution, gene composition, maturation mechanisms, expression, and biochemical properties with regard to application of NHases in NEO degradation for bioremediation.
