ABSTRACT
Four bacterial strains from glyphosate- or alkylphosphonates-contaminated soils were tested for ability to utilize different organophosphonates. All studied strains readily utilized methylphosphonic acid and a number of other phosphonates, but differed in their ability to degrade glyphosate. Only strains Ochrobactrum anthropi GPK 3 and Achromobacter sp. Kg 16 utilized this compound after isolation from enrichment cultures with glyphosate. Achromobacter sp. MPK 7 from the same enrichment culture, similar to Achromobacter sp. MPS 12 from methylphosphonate-polluted source, required adaptation to growth on GP. Studied strains varied significantly in their growth parameters, efficiency of phosphonates degradation and characteristic products of this process, as well as in their energy metabolism. These differences give grounds to propose a possible model of interaction between these strains in microbial consortium in phosphonate-contaminated soils.
