Abstract
Improvement of the TIFD method to determine buprofezin (BUP) founded on the O-phthalaldehyde (OPA)-thermoproduct complex of buprofezin (OPA-BUP) with dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (DMβCD) was investigated at 25 °C. The TIFD method developed in DMβCD medium, was optimized with respect to the reaction time, DMβCD concentration and pH. Based on the inclusion reaction, the OPA-BUP: DMβCD inclusion complex was developed in two aqueous media pH 7 and pH 13. A 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of OPA-BUP: DMβCD complex was obtained. The binding constants (K) and Gibbs energy (ΔG°) values increasing and decreasing with pH, respectively, show the spontaneous and thermodynamically favorable at 25 °C of the inclusion complexes formation. Normalized TIFD spectra were measured at 425 nm for emission and at 345 nm for excitation. Limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) obtained, according to the pH, were in the ranges 0.05-0.1 ng mL ̶ 1 and 0.2-0.4 ng mL ̶ 1, respectively. Relative standard deviation (RSD) values, less than 1.3% corroborated TIFD method repeatability in DMβCD medium. Solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure which was used for quantitative analysis of natural water samples collected from Niayes area, led to satisfactory recovery rates values 99.5-117.3%.

Molecular Mechanism and Genetic Determinants of Buprofezin Degradation. Appl Environ Microbiol 2017; 83:AEM.00868-17.

Abstract
Buprofezin is a widely used insect growth regulator whose residue has been frequently detected in the environment, posing a threat to aquatic organisms and nontarget insects. Microorganisms play an important role in the degradation of buprofezin in the natural environment. However, the relevant catabolic pathway has not been fully characterized, and the molecular mechanism of catabolism is still completely unknown. Rhodococcus qingshengii YL-1 can utilize buprofezin as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth. In this study, the upstream catabolic pathway in strain YL-1 was identified using tandem mass spectrometry. Buprofezin is composed of a benzene ring and a heterocyclic ring. The degradation is initiated by the dihydroxylation of the benzene ring and continues via dehydrogenation, aromatic ring cleavage, breaking of an amide bond, and the release of the heterocyclic ring 2-tert-butylimino-3-isopropyl-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-4-one (2-BI). A buprofezin degradation-deficient mutant strain YL-0 was isolated. A comparative genomic analysis combined with gene deletion and complementation experiments revealed that the gene cluster bfzBA3A4A1A2C is responsible for the upstream catabolic pathway of buprofezin. The bfzA3A4A1A2 cluster encodes a novel Rieske nonheme iron oxygenase (RHO) system that is responsible for the dihydroxylation of buprofezin at the benzene ring; bfzB is involved in dehydrogenation, and bfzC is in charge of benzene ring cleavage. Furthermore, the products of bfzBA3A4A1A2C can also catalyze dihydroxylation, dehydrogenation, and aromatic ring cleavage of biphenyl, flavanone, flavone, and bifenthrin. In addition, a transcriptional study revealed that bfzBA3A4A1A2C is organized in one transcriptional unit that is constitutively expressed in strain YL-1.IMPORTANCE There is an increasing concern about the residue and environmental fate of buprofezin. Microbial metabolism is an important mechanism responsible for the buprofezin degradation in the natural environment. However, the molecular mechanism and genetic determinants of microbial degradation of buprofezin have not been well identified. This work revealed that gene cluster bfzBA3A4A1A2C is responsible for the upstream catabolic pathway of buprofezin in Rhodococcus qingshengii YL-1. The products of bfzBA3A4A1A2C could also degrade bifenthrin, a widely used pyrethroid insecticide. These findings enhance our understanding of the microbial degradation mechanism of buprofezin and benefit the application of strain YL-1 and bfzBA3A4A1A2C in the bioremediation of buprofezin contamination.

Abstract
The effects of cycloxaprid (a modified neonicotinoid insecticide) and buprofezin (a thiadiazine insecticide) on mortality of the white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera, were determined in laboratory assays. Cycloxaprid killed WBPH nymphs and adults but buprofezin killed only nymphs, and cycloxaprid acted faster than buprofezin. One day after infestation, mortality of third-instar nymphs was >65% with cycloxaprid at 125 mg liter(-1) but was <38% with buprofezin at 148 mg liter(-1). By the 4th day after infestation, however, control of nymphs by the two insecticides was similar, and cycloxaprid at 125 mg liter(-1) caused ≥ 80% mortality of adults but buprofezin at 148 mg liter(-1) (the highest rate tested) caused almost no adult mortality. LC50 values for cycloxaprid were lowest with nymphs, intermediate with adult males, and highest with adult females. Although buprofezin was slower acting than cycloxaprid, its LC50 for nymphs 5 d after infestation was 3.79-fold lower than that of cycloxaprid. Mean carboxylesterase (CarE) specific activity of nymphal WBPH treated with cycloxaprid and buprofezin was higher than that of control, but there was no significant difference between cycloxaprid and control (no insecticide), and it was significantly higher for buprofezin than those of cycloxaprid and control. For glutathione S-transferase and mixed function oxygenase, the specific activity of nymphal WBPH treated with buprofezin was significantly higher than those of cycloxaprid and control, too.

Abstract
Multiple pollutants, usually at low levels, coexist and may interact in the environment. It is therefore important to analyze the toxicity of mixtures of coexisting chemicals to evaluate the potential ecological risk. Concern regarding the co-occurrence and combined bioeffects of heavy metals and organic insecticides in aquatic settings has existed for many years, but a clear understanding of the interactions between and potential combined toxicity of these chemicals remains elusive. In the present study, the combined effects of the heavy metal nickel (NiSO4) and insect growth regulator buprofezin on the induction of embryo toxicity in zebrafish were assessed. By applying nonlinear regression to the concentration-response data with each of the chemicals using the Hill and Langmuir functions and computing the predictions using the model of concentration addition (CA), we confirmed that NiSO4 and buprofezin acted together to produce synergistic embryotoxicity in zebrafish. Subsequently, we further found that the combination of NiSO4 and buprofezin formed a complex that facilitated the uptake of nickel (Ni) and buprofezin by the embryos. Following this, we clarified that an oxidative mechanism of the complex might underlie the synergistic embryotoxicity of NiSO4 and buprofezin.

Abstract
A buprofezin-degrading bacterium, YL-1, was isolated from rice field soil. YL-1 was identified as Rhodococcus sp. on the basis of the comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. The strain could use buprofezin as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth and was able to degrade 92.4% of 50 mg L(-1) buprofezin within 48 h in liquid culture. During the degradation of buprofezin, four possible metabolites, 2-tert-butylimino-3-isopropyl-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-4-one, N-tert-butyl-thioformimidic acid formylaminomethyl ester, 2-isothiocyanato-2-methyl-propane, and 2-isothiocyanato-propane, were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity was strongly induced during the degradation of buprofezin. A novel microbial biodegradation pathway for buprofezin was proposed on the basis of these metabolites. The inoculation of soils treated with buprofezin with strain YL-1 resulted in a higher degradation rate than that observed in noninoculated soils, indicating that strain YL-1 has the potential to be used in the bioremediation of buprofezin-contaminated environments.

Abstract
Buprofezin is a widely used insecticide that has caused environmental pollution in many areas. However, biodegradation of buprofezin by pure cultures has not been extensively studied, and the transformation pathway of buprofezin remains unclear. In this paper, a buprofezin co-metabolizing strain of DFS35-4 was isolated from a buprofezin-polluted soil in China. Strain DFS35-4 was preliminarily identified as Pseudomonas sp. based on its morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties, as well as 16S rRNA gene analysis. In the presence of 2.0 g l(-1) sodium citrate, strain DFS35-4 degraded over 70% of 50 mg l(-1) buprofezin in 3 days. Strain DFS35-4 efficiently degraded buprofezin in the pH range of 5.0-10.0 and at temperatures between 20 and 30°C. Three metabolites, 2-imino-5-phenyl-3-(propan-2-yl)-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-4-one, 2-imino-5-phenyl-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-4-one, and methyl(phenyl) carbamic acid, were identified during the degradation of buprofezin using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). A partial transformation pathway of buprofezin in Pseudomonas sp. DFS35-4 was proposed based on these metabolites.
