The century poison ¡§dioxins¡¨ are hydrophobic compounds that can combine with many organic matters and persist in the environment as well as to accumulate in living organisms. Dioxins caused great risk to the health of living organisms and to the entire ecological environment. We had isolated previously one bacterial species, Pseudomonas mendocina NSYSU, which can use pentachlorophenol (PCP) as its sole carbon source and degrade dioxin compounds. In order to study the feasibility of using this bacterial strain to bioremediate an PCDD/Fs polluted site, four microcosm experiment groups were designed to test the degradation efficiency of this strain: sterile soil group, non-sterile soil group, soya lecithin group and non-sterile soil with soya lecithin group. In addition, we also analyzed the shift of community structure of each microcosm by PCR-DGGE. The results show that the soya lecithin group has the highest efficiency to degrade OCDD/OCDF. After fifty days of reaction, the degradation rates of OCDD/OCDF were 62% and 47% respectively. The microbial diversity analysis indicated that the soya lecithin group presented less abundant from the initial stage, but increasing gradually over time. This might related to the formation of micelles in water phase which contained higher concentration of PCDD/Fs dissolved from the soil particles. Therefore, soya lecithin not only can reduce the toxicity of PCDD/Fs, but also can enhance the bioavailability of the organic pollutants to the microorganisms. In conclusion, monitoring the transition of P. mendocina NSYSU as well as the microbial diversity can provide valuable information during the bioremediation process by applying soya lecithin.
