The intermediates in fenpropathrin biodegradation process by Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB07-19 were detected by gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS). Three intermediates, n-isopropyl-3-phenylpropanamide, 2,4-Dimethylamphetamin and 2-amino-1-[o-methoxyphenyl] propane were detected, and the retention times of these intermediates were 7.983 min, 8.764 min, and 9.236 min, respectively. Based on these intermediates, the deduced fenpropathrin biodegradation protocol was descriptive. This study hints exsiting different biodegradation pathway of pyrethroids residue, and would enrich our knowledge about removing and cleaning up pyrethroids residue in environments.
