Biodegradation of tributyltin (TBT) by four tin resistant Gram negative bacteria isolated from extremely contaminated river sediments in the Atacama Desert in Chile was studied. Moraxella osloensis showed the greatest resistance and degradation capability of TBT, producing less toxic by-products, such as dibutyltin (DBT) and inorganic tin. In 7 days, approximately 80 % of TBT degradation was achieved, generating close to 20 % of DBT as degradation product. The degradation rate constant (k) was 0.022 [day(-1)] and TBT half-life (t1/2) in culture was 4.3 days. Debutylation is stated a probable mechanism of TBT degradation.
研究了从智利阿塔卡马沙漠极度污染的河流沉积物中分离出的4株耐锡革兰氏阴性菌对三丁基锡(TBT)的生物降解作用。奥斯陆莫拉菌对TBT表现出最强的抗性和降解能力,产生的毒性较小的副产物,如二丁基锡(DBT)和无机锡。在7天内,实现了约80%的TBT降解,产生了近20%的DBT作为降解产物。降解速率常数(k)为0.022 [天⁻¹],培养物中TBT的半衰期(t1/2)为4.3天。脱丁基化被认为是TBT降解的一种可能机制。
