Atrazine, is one of major concern pesticides contaminating agricultural areas and ground water. Its microbial biodegradation seems to be the most efficient in terms of economic and environmental benefits. In the present work the cometabolic biodegradation of atrazine by the fungus Metarhizum robertsii IM 6519 during 10-day batch cultures was characterized. The herbicide was transformed to several hydroxy-, dechlorinated or dealkylated metabolites with the involvement of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. The obtained metabolomics data revealed that atrazine induced oxidative stress (increased the levels of L-proline, L-ornithine, L-arginine, GABA and L-methionine), disruptions of the carbon and nitrogen metabolism (L-aspartic acid, L-asparagine, L-tyrosine, L-threonine, L-isoleucine, L-phenylalanine, 1-methyl-L-histidine, L-tryptophan, L-valine, L-alanine, O-phospho-Lserine, L-sarcosine or L-lysine) and caused an increase in the membrane fluidity (a rise in the phosphatidylcholines/phosphatidylethanolamines (PC/PE) ratio together with the growth of the taurine level). The increased level of hydroxyl derivatives of linoleic acid (9-HODE and 13-HODE) confirmed that atrazine induced lipid peroxidation. The presented results suggesting that M. robertsii IM 6519 might be applied in atrazine biodegradation and may bring up the understanding of the process of triazine biodegradation by Metarhizum strains.
