The glyphosate-degrading Pseudomonas sp. strain PG2982 was found to utilize each of 10 organophosphonate compounds as a sole phosphorus source. Representative compounds tested included alkylphosphonates, 1-amino-substituted alkylphosphonates, amino-terminal phosphonates, and an arylphosphonate. This report demonstrates that PG2982 is capable of utilizing a wider range of structurally different organophosphonate compounds than any organism described to date.
