[Objective] The aim was to isolate the triazophos-degrading strain and study its degradation characteristics. [Method] A triazophos-degrading bacterium strain C-Y106 was isolated from sludge in an aeration tank of triazophos manufacture. Then the strain C-Y106 was identified according to the morphology,physiological and biochemical characteristics,and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The effect of medium with different nutrients on triazophos-degrading rate by C-Y106 was studied. [Result] The strain C-Y106 was identified as Bacillus subtilis. The strain C-Y106 could grow in the mineral salt medium with 40 mg/L of triazophos as the sole sources of carbon,Nitrogen and Phosphorus. The triazophos-degrading rate was the highest as 76.8% in the mineral salt medium with 40 mg/L of triazophos as the sole source of Phosphorus,after being incubated at 31 ℃,pH 8.0 and 150 r/min for 60 h. [Conclusion] The research had provided theoretical basis for the identification and purification of enzymes for triazophos degradation.
