Abstract Paraquat (1, 1′-Dimethyl-4, 4′-bipyridinium dichloride) is a non-selective contact
herbicide with highly toxic and soluble in water. This study aims to compare paraquat …

The species Azotobacter belongs to plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) group
and are ubiquitous, aerobic, free-living and nitrogen (N 2)-fixing bacteria commonly living in …

Gut microbiota plays a key role in physiological processes of insects, including nutritional
metabolism, development, immunity and detoxification. Environmental stressors such as …

In this study, we aimed to find out the biodegradation efficiency of some soil fungi types on
herbicide acetochlor with acetochlor active material, chemical oxygen demand (COD) …

Natural systems are under increasing pressure by a range of anthropogenic global change
factors. Pesticides represent a nearly ubiquitously occurring global change factor and have …

Biodegradation of endosulfan (α and β) and pendimethalin by Bacillus safensis strain FO-
36b T, Bacillus subtilis subsp. inaquosorum strain KCTC 13429 T and Bacillus cereus strain …

In this study, a bacterial strain P13 capable of degrading pendimethalin was isolated from
the soil of a fruit garden. Based on observed cellular morphology and physiology …

Bioaugmentation-assisted phytoextraction was used to reduce the Cu load in vineyard soils.
While performance is usually the endpoint of such studies, here we identified some …

Microbial degradation plays a major role in the dissipation of pendimethalin, and
nitroreduction is an initial and detoxicating step. Previously, a pendimethalin nitroreductase …

In this study pendimethalin degrading indigenous soil bacterium was isolated from rice field
(supplemented with pendimethalin) and identified as, Pseudomonas strain PD1 on the basis …
