Microbial deodorization is an effective technology for treating odorous waste gases, in which microbial strains play a decisive role. [Objective] To screen the strains capable of degrading dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and investigate their degradation efficiency and ability to produce surfactants under various conditions. [Methods] DMDS, a typical sulfur-containing odorous organic compound, was selected as the sole carbon source. A strain R1 capable of simultaneously producing biosurfactants and degrading DMDS was isolated from mangrove sludge. The strain was identified based on the physiological and biochemical characteristics analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The types of self-produced biosurfactants were determined using infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis. [Results] Based on physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain R1 was identified as Achromobacter sp. The strain was capable of degrading DMDS, with optimal degradation conditions of an initial DMDS concentration of 12.49 mg/L, a system temperature of 30 ℃, and an inoculum amount of 1.0 g/L, under which the DMDS degradation rate reached 70.74%. Emulsification experiments showed that strain R1 can use DMDS as a carbon source to produce biosurfactants, which were identified as glycolipids through nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy. [Conclusion] The main intermediate product in the biodegradation of DMDS is methyl mercaptan, and the transformation rate of sulfur to SO42- is 65.99%. Strain R1 exhibits impressive performance in degrading DMDS and producing biosurfactants.
