Summary and outline of this thesis Summary and outline of this thesis In Chile, one of the most sold pesticides is dicarboxiamide fungicide iprodione. When iprodione is applied, it mainly reaches the soil where adapted microorganism such as degrading bacteria are able to hydrolyze iprodione into its main 3,5-dichloroaniline (3,5- DCA) metabolite through formation of 3,5-dichlorophenyl-carboxamide (metabolite I) and 3,5-dichlorophenylurea-acetate (metabolite II). However, due to iprodione and 3,5- DCA are deleterious molecules, their accumulation in the environment should to be mitigated. In this context, an interesting alternative might be given by the relationship between plant roots and degrading bacteria in a process called rhizodegradation. In this context, it is expected that rhizodegradation occurs strongly in places with a large exposition to pesticides such as the grass cover of biobed. Biobeds are biopurification systems (BPS) constituted by a biomixture generally composed by soil, peat and straw, which is covered by a grass layer offering a suitable pesticide mitigation, possibly by an active rhizodegradation. Nevertheless, it is possible that rhizodegradation failure due to several factors, being in these cases the inoculation of grass cover with characterized degrading bacteria a suitable strategy to improve the process. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis considered to evaluate the microbial degradation of iprodione and its metabolite 3,5-DCA by a degrading bacterial inoculum and their application in the grass cover of a biobed. Here, laboratory enrichments achieved the isolation of a partial 3,5-DCA-degrading Pseudomonas sp. strain and an iprodione-degrading consortium composed by an Arthrobacter sp. strain C1 and an Achromobacter sp. strain C2 from an acidic pristine soil. Posterior studies revealed that Arthrobacter sp. strain C1 was the key iprodione-degrading strain, which was able to maintain its degrading capacity in a wide range of temperature and pH and in the co-presence of other pesticides. Also was demonstrated that iprodione catabolism was done by strain C1, whereas strain C2 only could co-metabolize it. Additionally, strains showed only difficulties to catabolize metabolite I, whereas no problems to co-metabolize metabolites I and II were observed, suggesting that an enough biomass was necessary to transform metabolite I, possibly through a detoxification process. Furthermore, strain C1 demonstrated ability to degrade vinclozolin and propanil, constituting the first evidence about cross degradation among these pesticides. Afterward, antagonistic effect of indigenous soil microorganisms on the development of our strains and tolerance of Lolium perenne (ryegrass) seeds to germinate Summary and outline of this thesis in presence of high iprodione and 3,5-DCA concentration demonstrated that bacteria as well as ryegrass seeds were not noticeably affected, proposing them as suitable subjects to be tested in later rhizodegrading experiments. However, the limited metabolic ability of Pseudomonas sp. to degrade 3,5-DCA discarded its utilization in posterior steps. Rhizodegrading experiments demonstrated that iprodione removal rates were improved notoriously by inoculation of strain C1 in biomixture, rates that were enhanced when bacterial inoculum was incorporated close to the rhizosphere of ryegrass. Therefore, increasing biological activities revealed that microorganisms and roots had active roles in the removal of iprodione. Nonetheless, changes for fungi and bacterial abundances did not show clear patterns for bacterial inoculation and root presence, revealing

However, some unfortunate side effects of their use include potential leaching of these, oftentimes, harmful chemicals into the environment and their eventual presence in the human food chain. As a result, pesticide residue analysis has become a critical testing process for many different types of laboratories. Unfortunately, pesticide residue testing is a long, expensive and complicated process, covering hundreds of different compounds, made even more daunting by the plethora of varying pesticide types that sometimes require different testing techniques for identification. Fortunately, as the leader in HPLC, GC, LC/MS and GC/MS pesticide CRMs, Spex CertiPrep is happy to assist all of our customers with all of their pesticide CRM needs. For your convenience we have designed a pesticide residue testing kit which includes 144 of the most commonly analyzed pesticides per EPA, AOAC, FDA and other international testing methods. The kit is structured to maximize stability and solubility while minimizing unwanted analyte interaction and interference; enjoy shorter calibration times, fewer injections and money savings, as compared to purchasing individual pesticide standards. As a companion piece to this new product, we have assembled this solubility guide, which covers all 144 pesticides included in the kit (Spex CertiPrep part number SPXPR-KIT).
