Product Description
Bensulfuron-methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide extensively used in the control of broadleaf weeds in rice fields.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants and microorganisms [1].
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The degradation kinetics of Bensulfuron-methyl in paddy soil were studied. The degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with degradation rate constants (k) ranging from 0.0121 to 0.0576 day⁻¹ depending on initial concentration. The half-life of Bensulfuron-methyl varied with initial concentration: at 0.0355 mg kg⁻¹ dry soil, half-life was 12.03 days; at 0.067 mg kg⁻¹, 22.43 days; at 0.355 mg kg⁻¹, 17.37 days; at 1.780 mg kg⁻¹, 28.76 days; and at 3.550 mg kg⁻¹, 57.27 days [1].
After 42 days, more than 90% of Bensulfuron-methyl was degraded in paddy soils with an initial concentration of 0.0355 mg kg⁻¹. Even at the highest concentration tested (3.550 mg kg⁻¹, ten-fold the field rate), degradation reached approximately 40% (39.75%) [1].
Inoculation with the BSM-degrading bacterium Bacillus megaterium L1 significantly accelerated degradation. With L1 inoculation, the half-life of Bensulfuron-methyl (initial concentration 0.067 mg kg⁻¹) was reduced to 10.59 days, approximately half that of the non-inoculated treatment (22.43 days). After 42 days, degradation reached 94.35% with L1 inoculation, compared to 61.85% without inoculation [1].
Inoculation with a mixture of Bacillus megaterium L1 and Brevibacterium sp. BH also enhanced degradation (80.40% after 42 days) but was less effective than L1 alone [1].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The study investigated the effect of Bensulfuron-methyl on soil bacterial community structure using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Application of BSM affected the diversity of the soil microbial community structure from week 1 to week 3 after application. At higher concentrations (1.780 and 3.553 mg kg⁻¹), the impact was more pronounced and persistent. However, by week 5, the bacterial community structure largely recovered, with DGGE profiles of BSM-treated soils showing high similarity to the control [1].
Principal component analysis (PCA) of Jaccard indices revealed that the influence pattern of BSM on bacterial communities changed over time and was closely related to the degradation process. By week 5, no distinct clustering patterns based on BSM concentration were observed, although some interference compared to control was still present [1].
Inoculation with the BSM-degrading bacterium Bacillus megaterium L1 enriched the diversity of soil microbial community structure, with several new bands appearing in DGGE profiles from week 3 onwards. Sequencing of one new band (band a) revealed it was related to an uncultured soil bacterium (99% identity to uncultured bacterium isolate wj11, EF489266) and showed similarity to uncultured gamma proteobacterium strains, suggesting that L1 inoculation stimulated the growth of bacteria not detectable by traditional culture methods [1].

Additional Infomation
Bensulfuron-methyl is the methyl ester of bensulfuron. It is an acetolactate synthase inhibitor used as a herbicide to control a variety of annual and perennial weeds in crops, especially wheat and rice. It is not approved for use in the UK. It has a dual role as a herbicide, agrochemical, and EC 2.2.1.6 (acetolactate synthase) inhibitor. It is an N-sulfonylurea compound, belonging to the pyrimidine class, and is a methyl ester and aromatic ether. Its function is similar to bensulfuron. Bensulfuron-methyl is a selective pre- and post-emergence herbicide that inhibits the formation of acetolactate synthase (ALS). Bensulfuron-methyl is absorbed through leaves and roots, selectively inhibiting the biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine. It prevents cell division by inhibiting acetolactate synthase. It may reduce chlorophyll content and inhibit plant growth.

Bensulfuron-methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide widely used to control broad-leaf weeds in rice paddies. It acts by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), blocking the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids. It is characterized by high crop selectivity and low acute and chronic animal toxicity [1].
The main degradation mechanisms for sulfonylurea herbicides in soil and water are chemical hydrolysis and microbial degradation. In this study, Bensulfuron-methyl degradation in paddy soil followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with half-lives ranging from 12 to 57 days depending on initial concentration [1].
Two BSM-degrading bacterial strains were used: Bacillus megaterium L1 (AY788910) and Brevibacterium sp. BH (AY577816), previously isolated and stored by the authors' laboratory. Inoculation with these strains, particularly Bacillus megaterium L1, accelerated BSM degradation in paddy soil [1].
This is reported as the first study to investigate the use of isolated BSM-degrading bacteria for bioremediation of BSM-contaminated paddy soil and to examine the effects of such exogenous microorganisms on the soil microbial community structure [1].
