Abstract A psychrotolerant Sphingobacterium sp. was isolated from the apple orchard situated in the Kufri region of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India using an enrichment culture technique having chlorpyrifos (CP) as the sole source of carbon and energy. Based on biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA analysis, the strain was identified as Sphingobacterium sp. C1B. The bacterium C1B was able to degrade chlorpyrifos ≥ 42 ppm and ≥ 36 ppm within 14 days at 20 °C and 15 °C, respectively. The strain was also able to degrade chlorpyrifos ≤ 35 ppm at 28 °C within 14 days. The enzyme organophosphorus hydrolase might be responsible for the initial degradation of CP by the strain C1B. Based on the HPLC and GCMS analysis, a probable degradation pathway has been proposed, which followed the path from chlorpyrifos to 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol to benzene, 1,3-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) and then entered into the TCA cycle. Our current study revealed that the bacterium C1B was found to be a useful strain for the degradation of pesticide chlorpyrifos in the cold climatic environment. Keywords Chlorpyrifos · Sphingobacterium strain C1B · Biodegradation · Benzene, 1, 3-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) · Organophosphorus hydrolase
Introduction Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are a highly toxic class of pesticide being used for various pest and insect control practices world-wide (Deng et al. 2015). In India, OPPs are among the 60% insecticides which used for farming purposes (Kodandaram et al. 2013). Chlorpyrifos [O, O-diethyl Communicated by I. Cann.

O-(3,5,6-tri chloro–2n pyridylphosphorothioate) (Fig. 1), a crystalline organophosphate insecticide is the second most detected OPP in food and water because of its prevalent usage in agriculture. Due to the widespread use, Chlorpyrifos (CP) and its residues have been detected in soil, surface water, and groundwater (Hossain et al. 2015). Pesticide accumulation in these environmental parts results in indirect entry of CP into the human food chain, and thus causing alarming health effects. Himachal Pradesh,
