A novel carbendazim (methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate, or MBC) degrading strain SD-4 was isolated and identified preliminarily asMycobacteriumsp. according to its phenotypic features and phylogenetic analysis. This strain could utilize MBC as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources for growth and degrade 50 mg L−1MBC at the average degradation rate of 0.63 mg L−1h−1. Strain SD-4 degraded MBC through the typical pathway, in which MBC was first hydrolyzed by MheI to 2-aminobenzimidazole (2-AB) and then converted to 2-hydroxybenzimidazole (2-HB). The MBC hydrolase encoding genemheIwas cloned from strain SD-4 and successfully expressed inEscherichia coliby codon optimization. The sulfhydryl-blocking assay revealed that the activity of MheI was closely related to cysteine, and the site-directed mutation experiment showed that Cys16 and Cys222 played important roles during the hydrolysis of MBC by MheI. Therefore they affected its activity directly and were defined as the key amino acid sites.
