RESUMO
Two Pseudomonas spp. (isolates 50552 and 50581) isolated from soil degraded 1-naphthol and carbaryl, an N-methylcarbamate pesticide, respectively. They utilized these compounds as a sole source of carbon. 1-Naphthol was completely metabolized to CO2 by the isolate 50552, while the carbaryl was first hydrolyzed to 1-naphthol and then converted into a brown-colored compound by the isolate 50581. The colored metabolite was not degraded, but 1-naphthol produced by the isolate 50581 during the exponential phase of growth was metabolized by the isolate 50552. The two isolates were used to construct a bacterial consortium which completely catabolized carbaryl to CO2. No metabolite was detected in the cell cultures of the consortium. The isolate 50581 harbored a 50-kb plasmid pCD1, while no plasmid was detected in the isolate 50552. The isolated bacteria individually or as a consortium may be used for detoxification of certain industrial and agricultural wastes.
