Difenoconazole, as a systemic triazole fungicide, is a broad-spectrum, highly effective agent that has been widely used for controlling fungal diseases in 46 different crops (or crop categories), including rice, wheat, and corn. Due to the improper use of difenoconazole, concerns about its environmental residues and toxicity to non-target organisms have drawn significant attention from researchers. In response to this issue, this study aimed to isolate microbial strains capable of degrading difenoconazole from the environment. A novel difenoconazole-degrading strain, Acinetobacter sp. A-1, was screened and identified, demonstrating the ability to degrade 62.43% of 50 mg/L difenoconazole within seven days. Further optimization of the degradation conditions was conducted using single-factor experiments and response surface methodology experiments. The results showed that the optimal degradation conditions for strain A-1 were a difenoconazole concentration of 55.71 mg/L, a pH of 6.94, and an inoculation volume of 1.97%, achieving a degradation rate of 79.30%. Finally, strain A-1 was immobilized using sodium alginate, and its stability and bioremediation efficiency were evaluated. The results indicated that the immobilized strain A-1 exhibited high stability and significantly reduced the half-life of difenoconazole in the water&ndash:sediment contamination system. In the sterilized water&ndash:sediment system, the degradation rate of difenoconazole by the immobilized strain A-1 reached 65.26%. Overall, this study suggests that Acinetobacter sp. A-1 is a promising candidate for difenoconazole degradation, and immobilization technology can effectively enhance its removal efficiency in water&ndash:sediment systems.
