摘要：Organophosphorus compounds (OP) are stable P source in nature, and can increase eutrophication risk in waterbodies. Lecithin was the most difficult OP to be broken down. In this study, two typical phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, Aspergillus niger and Acinetobacter sp., were applied to evaluate their ability to decompose both inorganic phosphates and lecithin. A. niger and Acinetobacter sp. could solubilize calcium phosphates by secreting various organic acids, e.g., oxalic and formic acids. The fungus, A. niger, shows significantly higher ability of solubilizing these inorganic phosphates than Acinetobacter sp., primarily due to its secretion of abundant oxalic acid. However, the bacterium, Acinetobacter sp., could secrete more acid phosphatase than A. niger for lecithin decomposition, i.e., 9300 vs. 8500 μmol L -1 h -1 . Moreover, after addition of CaCl 2 , the released P from lecithin was transformed to stable chlorapatite in the medium. To the contrast, Ca cations inclined to form calcium oxalate (rather than stable phosphate mineral) after the incubation of A. niger, as it induced relatively acidic environment after breaking down lecithin. Therefore, this work sheds light on the bright future of applying bacteria and Ca cations in OP pollutant management.
