During organic contaminant degradation in soil, bound or nonextractable residues (NM are formed. Part of these residues may be biogenic, because degrading microorganisms assimilate carbon derived from the pollutant and mineralized CO(2) to form cellular components for example, [fatty acids (FA) and amino acids (AA)], which are subsequently stabilized within soil organic matter (SUM). We investigated the formation and fate of FA and AA from biodegradation of (13)C(6)-2,4-D in soil and the incorporation of the (13)C-label into living biomass via (13)CO(2) fixation. After 64 days of incubation, (13)C-AA in SUM indicated that 44% of the initially applied (13)C(6)-2,4-D equivalents had been converted to microbial biomass and finally to biogenic residues. The intermediate maximum of (13)C-FA in SUM indicated a 20% conversion of (13)C(6)-2,4-D to biomass, but (13)C-FA decreased to 50% of that value whereas (13)C-AA in the SUM remained stable. We provide the first evidence that nearly all bound residues from 2,4-D are biogenic, containing natural microbial residues stabilized in SOM. Because of biogenic residue formation, the potential risk of bound residues from readily metabolized xenobiotics in soils is highly overestimated. Hence, the formation of biogenic residues must be considered in general when performing mass balances of pollutant biodegradation in soils.
