The first organophosphorus (OP) compound-degrading bacterial strain was isolated from a paddy field in the Philippines in 1973. Since then, several phylogenetically distinct bacteria that can degrade OP by co-metabolism, or use OPs as a source of carbon, phosphorus or nitrogen, have been isolated from different parts of the world. There is huge potential for industrial applications of OP-degrading bacteria. Important advances in our understanding of the microbiology, genomics and evolution of OP-degrading bacteria have been made over the past four decades, and are discussed in this review.
1973年，首个能降解有机磷（OP）化合物的细菌菌株从菲律宾的一块稻田中分离出来。从那时起，已从世界不同地区分离出几种系统发育上不同的细菌，它们可以通过共代谢降解OP，或将OP用作碳、磷或氮的来源。降解OP的细菌在工业应用方面具有巨大潜力。在过去的四十年里，我们对降解OP细菌的微生物学、基因组学和进化的理解取得了重要进展，本文将对此进行讨论。
