Abstract: The widely used strobilurin fungicides in agriculture have become a public concern because of their heavily environmental contamination and toxic effects on mammals. Such concerns,therefore,highlight the critical need for effective and advanced remediation technologies for the removal of strobilurin residues. Recently,bioremediation has emerged as a great potential alternative to eliminate pesticide residues because of its effective,low-priced,and eco-friendly properties. In this review,we summarized the research status of ecotoxicity of strobilurins and their microbial degradation. The main metabolites and the proposed degradation pathways of strobilurins were investigated. Moreover,the deficiencies of microbial degradation and the future development were discussed. These results may lay a solid foundation for developing new and safe measures for solving pollution hazard from strobilurin-like residues.

Key words: strobilurin fungicides, ecotoxicity, biodegradation, bioremediation
