Isodecyl diphenyl phosphate (IDDP) is among the emerging aromatic organophosphate esters (aryl-OPEs) that pose risks to both human beings and other organisms. This study aims to investigate the translocation and biotransformation behavior of IDDP in rice and the rhizosphere microbiome through hydroponic exposure (the duration of hydroponic exposure was 10 days). The rhizosphere microbiome 9-FY was found to efficiently eliminate IDDP, thereby reducing its uptake in rice tissues and mitigating the negative impact of IDDP on rice growth. Furthermore, this study proposed the first-ever transformation pathways of IDDP, identifying hydrolysis, hydroxylation, methylation, methoxylation, carboxylation, and glucuronidation products. Notably, the methylation and glycosylation pathways were exclusively observed in rice, indicating that the transformation of IDDP in rice may be more complex than in microbiome 9-FY. Additionally, the presence of the product COOH-IDDP in rice suggested that there might be an exchange of degradation products between rice and rhizobacteria, implying their potential interaction. This finding highlights the significance of rhizobacteria's role which cannot be overlooked in the accumulation and transformation of organic pollutants in grain crops. The study revealed active members in 9-FY during IDDP degradation, and metagenomic analysis indicated that most of the active populations contained IDDP-degrading genes. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing showed that cytochrome P450, acid phosphatase, glucosyltransferase, and methyltransferases genes in rice were up-regulated, which was further confirmed by RT-qPCR. This provides insight into the intermediate products identified in rice, such as hydrolysis, hydroxylated, glycosylated, and methylated products. These results significantly contribute to our understanding of the translocation and transformation of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in plants and the rhizosphere microbiome, and reveal the fate of OPEs in rice and microbiome system to ensure the paddy yield and rice safety.
