Distribution and Catalytic Mechanism of a Novel Carboxylesterase Degrading Multiple Aryloxyphenoxypropionate Herbicides in Bacteria and Archaea
Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP), a widely used class of herbicides, pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. In this study, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens L1 was isolated as a novel degrader, completely degrading 97.42 mg/L cyhalofop-butyl within 12 h via ester bond hydrolysis to cyhalofop acid. A new carbo...
