Abstract:

The present investigation deals with screening and isolation of Methyl parathion (MP) degrading bacteria from local agriculture soil  and study of its biodetoxification efficiency in vitro using potential Pseudomonas sp R2.  The potent  isolates that could degrade Methyl Parathion were identified as Pseudomonas species R1, R2 and R3 respectively. Effect of pH and temperature on growth profile of these isolate revealed 30ËšC as the optimum temperature at 500μg/ml. But, the   growth was optimized at pH 7 and 37ËšC to be used for an added advantage in cloning the  Methyl Parathion degrading (mpd) in E. coli.  The  three Pseudomonas isolates were found to tolerate a concentration of 3800µg/ml and R2 isolate identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa species  which is capable of  degrading 1920µg/ml MP after 48 hrs in  in vitro studies.
