Abstract
The widespread use of pesticides threatens the environment and ecosystems. Despite the positive effects of plant protection products, pesticides also have unexpected negative effects on nontarget organisms. The microbial biodegradation of pesticides is one of the major pathways for reducing their risks at aquatic ecosystems. The objective of this study was to compare the biodegradability of pesticides in simulated wetland and river systems. Parallel experiments were conducted with 17 pesticides based on the OECD 309 guidelines. A comprehensive analytical method, such as target screening combined with suspect and non-target screening, was performed to evaluate the biodegradation via identification of transformation products (TPs) using LC-HRMS. As evidence of biodegradation, we identified 97 TPs for 15 pesticides. Metolachlor and dimethenamid had 23 and 16 TPs, respectively, including Phase II glutathione conjugates. The analysis of 16S rRNA sequences for microbials characterized operational taxonomic units. Rheinheimera and Flavobacterium, which have the potential for glutathione S-transferase, were dominant in wetland systems. Estimation of toxicity, biodegradability, and hydrophobicity using QSAR prediction indicated lower environmental risks of detected TPs. We conclude that the wetland system is more favorable for pesticide degradation and risk mitigation mainly attributed to the abundance and variety of the microbial communities.
