N-phosphonomethylglycine utilization by the psychrotolerant yeast Solicoccozyma terricola M 3.1.4.

SolicoccozymaterricolaM 3.1.4., the yeast strain isolated from soil sample from blueberry cultivation in MiedzyrzecPodlaski in Poland, is capable to split of phosphorus to nitrogen and nitrogen to carbon bonds inN-phosphono-methylglycine (PMG, glyphosate). The biodegradation process proceeds in the phosphate-independent manner. Itis the first example of a psychrotolerant yeast strain able to degrade PMGviaCeN bond cleavage accompanied byAMPA formation and not like in most microorganismsviaCeP bond disruption followed by the sarcosine pathway.Glyphosate oxidoreductase (GOX) type activity was detected in cell-free extracts prepared fromS.terricolaM 3.1.4.pregrown on 4 mM PMG as a sole phosphorus and nitrogen source in cultivation medium
