The chloroacetamide herbicide butachlor is a widely used herbicide that has caused environmental pollution in many areas. The degradation mechanism of butachlor and bioremediation of butachlor contaminated-sites by bioaugmentation is of great concern. In this study, the novel strain Catellibacterium caeni sp. nov DCA-1ᵀ was found to degrade 81.2% of 50 mg l⁻¹ butachlor in 84 h, and efficiently degrade butachlor in a relatively broad range of temperatures from 15 to 35 °C and initial pH values from 6.0 to 9.0. Five metabolites produced during butachlor degradation by strain DCA-1ᵀ were identified based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and a different degradation pathway of butachlor was proposed. The removal of butachlor by bioaugmentation of strain DCA-1ᵀ in three different soils was also studied. The inoculation of DCA-1ᵀ cells significantly accelerated the degradation of butachlor in both sterile and non-sterile soils, with 57.2%–90.4% of 50 mg kg⁻¹ butachlor removed in 5 days compared to 5.4%–36% in the controls. The removal rate of butachlor in the sterile red soil (pH 4.8) inoculated with strain DCA-1ᵀ was lower than that in the sterile fluvo-aquic soil (pH 6.3) and high sandy soil (pH 8.2), showing that soil type significantly affected the butachlor degradation. This study highlights an important potential use of strain DCA-1ᵀ for the cleanup of chloroacetamide herbicides contaminated-sites and presents a different degradation pathway of butachlor in a pure culture.
