Abstract
Population and food requirements are increasing daily throughout the world. To fulfil these requirements application of pesticides is also increasing. Organophosphorous (OP) and Organocarbamate (OC) compounds are widely used pesticides. These pesticides are used for suicidal purposes too. Both inhibit Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinergic symptoms are mainly used for the diagnosis of pesticide poisoning. Although the symptoms of the intoxication of OP and OC are similar, recent research has described different targets for OP and OC pesticides. Researchers believe the distinction of OP/OC poisoning will be beneficial for the management of pesticide exposure. OP compounds produce adducts with several proteins. There is a new generation of OP compounds like glyphosate that do not inhibit AChE. Therefore, it's high time to develop biomarkers that can distinguish OP poisoning from OC poisoning.

Biodegradation 2020; 31:139-152.

Abstract
Pesticides introduced inadvertently or deliberately into environment by anthropogenic activity have caused growing global public concern, therefore the search of approaches for elimination of such xenobiotics should be encouraged. A cypermethrin-degrading bacterial strain Bacillus licheniformis B-1 was found to efficiently degrade carbaryl in LB medium at concentrations of 50-300 mg L-1 within 48 h, during which temperature and pH played important roles as reflected by increase in pollutant depletion. A stimulatory effect of Fe3+ and Mn2+ on microbial growth was observed, whereas Cu2+ caused inhibition of degradation. Results showed that 1-naphthol was a major transformation product of carbaryl which was further metabolised. An approximately 29 kDa carbaryl-degrading enzyme was purified from B-1 with 15.93-fold purification and an overall yield of 6.02% was achieved using ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B anion-exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The enzyme was identified through nano reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with hybrid triple quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry as a phosphodiesterase (PDE). This is the first report on the characterization of carbaryl-degrading by Bacillus spp. and the role of a PDE in carbaryl-detoxifying. Also, strain B-1 showed versatile in carbosulfan, isoprocarb and chlorpyrifos degradation, demonstrating as ideal candidate for environment bioremediation.

Abstract
Although ascomycetes occupy a vaster niche in soil than the well-studied basidiomycetes, they have received limited attention in studies related to bioremediation. In this study, the degradation of carbaryl by Xylaria sp. was studied in different culture conditions and its possible metabolic pathway was elucidated. In liquid culture, 99% of the added carbaryl was eliminated when cytochrome P450 (CYP450) was active, which was similar to the degradation rate of Pleurotus ostreatus, a fungus with strong bioremediation ability. Mn2+ is beneficial to the degradation of carbaryl. Compared to the 72.17% degradation rate in sterile soil, 59.0% carbaryl was eliminated in non-sterile soil, which suggested that Xylaria sp. BNL1 can resist microorganismal infection. Furthermore, the intracellular fractions containing laccase, CYP450, and carbaryl esterase efficiently degraded carbaryl. The presence of carbaryl metabolites suggested that Xylaria sp. BNL1 initiated its attack on carbaryl via carbaryl esterase to release α-naphthol, which was further degraded to 1,4-naphthoquinone and benzoic acid by CYP450 and laccase. Thus, our study highlights the potential of using Xylaria sp. for bioremediation.

Abstract
Here, we compare the evolutionary routes by which bacteria and insects have evolved enzymatic processes for the degradation of four classes of synthetic chemical insecticide. For insects, the selective advantage of such degradative activities is survival on exposure to the insecticide, whereas for the bacteria the advantage is simply a matter of access to additional sources of nutrients. Nevertheless, bacteria have evolved highly efficient enzymes from a wide variety of enzyme families, whereas insects have relied upon generalist esterase-, cytochrome P450- and glutathione-S-transferase-dependent detoxification systems. Moreover, the mutant insect enzymes are less efficient kinetically and less diverged in sequence from their putative ancestors than their bacterial counterparts. This presumably reflects several advantages that bacteria have over insects in the acquisition of new enzymatic functions, such as a broad biochemical repertoire from which new functions can be evolved, large population sizes, high effective mutation rates, very short generation times and access to genetic diversity through horizontal gene transfer. Both the insect and bacterial systems support recent theory proposing that new biochemical functions often evolve from 'promiscuous' activities in existing enzymes, with subsequent mutations then enhancing those activities. Study of the insect enzymes will help in resistance management, while the bacterial enzymes are potential bioremediants of insecticide residues in a range of contaminated environments.

Abstract
Aromatic compounds pose a major threat to the environment, being mutagenic, carcinogenic, and recalcitrant. Microbes, however, have evolved the ability to utilize these highly reduced and recalcitrant compounds as a potential source of carbon and energy. Aerobic degradation of aromatics is initiated by oxidizing the aromatic ring, making them more susceptible to cleavage by ring-cleaving dioxygenases. A preponderance of aromatic degradation genes on plasmids, transposons, and integrative genetic elements (and their shuffling through horizontal gene transfer) have lead to the evolution of novel aromatic degradative pathways. This enables the microorganisms to utilize a multitude of aromatics via common routes of degradation leading to metabolic diversity. In this review, we emphasize the exquisiteness and relevance of bacterial degradation of aromatics, interlinked degradative pathways, genetic and metabolic regulation, carbon source preference, and biosurfactant production. We have also explored the avenue of metagenomics, which opens doors to a plethora of uncultured and uncharted microbial genetics and metabolism that can be used effectively for bioremediation.

Abstract
A gram-negative Novosphingobium sp. strain FND-3 capable of degrading carbofuran was isolated and characterized. The carbofuran-degrading ability of strain FND-3 was investigated under various culture conditions. Strain FND-3 showed a high average carbofuran-degrading rate of 28.6 mg L(-1) h(-1) in mineral salts medium with 100 mg L(-1) carbofuran. GC/MS analysis pointed out the presence of several unknown metabolites. One hydrolyzate was identified as 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methypropan-2-ol) phenol via hydrolysis of carbofuran phenol. The appearance of another metabolite with M(+) of 180 m/z indicated that the hydroxylation of carbofuran occurred at the aromatic ring. One novel degrading product with M(+) of 239 m/z was identified as 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methylpropan-2-ol) benzene-N-methylcarbamate via hydrolyzing at the ether bond of furanyl ring of carbofuran. Strain FND-3 was also able to degrade other N-methylcarbamate pesticides.

Abstract
Pseudomonas sp. strains C4, C5, and C6 utilize carbaryl as the sole source of carbon and energy. Identification of 1-naphthol, salicylate, and gentisate in the spent media; whole-cell O2 uptake on 1-naphthol, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, salicylaldehyde, salicylate, and gentisate; and detection of key enzymes, viz, carbaryl hydrolase, 1-naphthol hydroxylase, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase, and gentisate dioxygenase, in the cell extract suggest that carbaryl is metabolized via 1-naphthol, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, and gentisate. Here, we demonstrate 1-naphthol hydroxylase and 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase activities in the cell extracts of carbaryl-grown cells. 1-Naphthol hydroxylase is present in the membrane-free cytosolic fraction, requires NAD(P)H and flavin adenine dinucleotide, and has optimum activity in the pH range 7.5 to 8.0. Carbaryl-degrading enzymes are inducible, and maximum induction was observed with carbaryl. Based on these results, the proposed metabolic pathway is carbaryl --> 1-naphthol --> 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene --> salicylaldehyde --> salicylate --> gentisate --> maleylpyruvate.

Abstract
Microorganisms capable of degrading carbofuran were isolated from soils and examined for the degradation of this pesticide at ring structure. An isolate that could degrade carbofuran and carbofuran-7-phenol was selected for further studies. The 16S rRNA analysis results showed that the isolate belongs to the genus of Sphingomonas, close to dioxin and dicamba degraders, and is named Sphingomonas sp. SB5. SB5 did not show any similarity of 16S rRNA to known carbofuran degraders. When time-course degradation of carbofuran by SB5 was examined by solvent extraction combined with liquid chromatographic analysis, almost complete disappearance of carbofuran was observed within 12 h, giving several accumulative metabolites. Bacterial cultures incubated with carbofuran-7-phenol suggested that the accumulated metabolites were derived from carbofuran-7-phenol. The control without SB5 and kanamycin-treated SB5 did not show any metabolite, suggesting a biological involvement in the degradation of carbofuran. GC/MS and LC/MS analyses identified 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methylpropan-2-ol) phenol as one of the accumulated metabolites, suggesting that the strain SB5 could degrade carbofuran-7-phenol by hydrolysis at the furanyl ring. This is the first report to identify 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methylpropan-2-ol) phenol as a new product derived biologically from carbofuran-7-phenol.

Abstract
Pseudomonas sp. 50432 biotransformed a highly toxic pesticide, carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yl methylcarbamate) to 7-phenol (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-hydroxy benzofuran) and several unknown metabolites. One of the unknown metabolites identified by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy was 4-hydroxycarbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran-7-yl methylcarbamate). It had a mass (237) similar to 3-hydroxycarbofuran and 5-hydroxycarbofuran but different fragmentation patterns. This is the first report in which an inducible oxidative enzyme, hydroxylase, mediated the conversion of carbofuran to 4-hydroxycarbofuran. A second constitutively synthesized enzyme hyrolase transformed carbofuran to 7-phenol.
