Abstract

Dichlorvas is extensively used for controlling insect pests on grape wine yards and contamination of soil system in grape
wine yards has been reported from all parts of the world. Bioremediation potential of microorganisms provides a suitable
way to remove such contaminants from the environment because organophosphate compounds are totally mineralized by
the microorganisms. In the present investigation, an indigenous bacterium capable of degrading dichlorvas was isolated
from pesticide contaminated soil samples of grape wine yards and identified as a strain of Pseudochrobactrum
saccharolyticum. It was found to have a potential to degrade it and the metabolites of degradation were butanedioic acid, 2,
3-dihydroxy-dimethyl-ester ; tricyclo (5.3.0.0(2,6)deca-3,10-dione, 6,7-dichloro;and thiacyclopentane-3-ol which were
identified by GC/MS analysis using NIST library.
