Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbiology, specifically to a low-temperature degrading bacterium for the herbicide flusulfanil, an inoculum containing the degrading bacterium, and the application of the degrading bacterium and its inoculum in the degradation of flusulfanil. Background Technology
[0002] Flusulfanil is a diphenyl ether herbicide primarily used in soybean fields to control broadleaf weeds, and it also has a suppressive effect on grass weeds. Because this herbicide degrades slowly, with a half-life ranging from 45 days to one year, long-term use leads to its gradual accumulation in the soil, posing a potential threat to subsequent sensitive crops and human health.
[0003] Currently, there are reports on the microbial degradation of flusulfanilamide, and the degrading bacteria identified include Bacillus (…). Bacillus (sp.), etc. However, most existing degrading bacteria are room-temperature adapted, and their metabolic activity is significantly inhibited at low temperatures below 15°C, with a 7-day degradation rate generally below 20%, which is insufficient to meet the remediation needs of low-temperature regions. In addition, traditional screening methods for degrading bacteria usually use enrichment culture conditions of 25-30°C, which is not conducive to effectively enriching low-temperature adapted microorganisms, resulting in insufficient exploration of low-temperature degrading bacteria resources.
[0004] In summary, the core problem facing existing technologies is the lack of microbial strains capable of efficiently degrading flumethrin under low-temperature conditions, which restricts the bioremediation of flumethrin residues in farmland soils in cold regions. Summary of the Invention

Arthrobacter FH1 sp. achieved efficient degradation of flusulfanilamide under low temperature conditions, solving the technical problem that the metabolic activity of existing room temperature degrading bacteria is significantly inhibited and the degradation rate is generally less than 20% at temperatures below 15°C.
