Diffusion Limitation for Atrazine Biodegradation in Soil
Effects of sub-millimeter scale heterogeneity in chemical and microbial distributions on atrazine degradation were examined using Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP introduced into soil at a population mimicking atrazine-adapted soils (~2000 cells/g), and employing a range of soil water pressures (−100, −300, −500 kPa). Heterogeneous cell distribution was employed in all treatments whereas uniformity o...
متن کاملNew Aspects on Atrazine Biodegradation
The world practice of using agrochemicals for long periods, in an indiscriminated and abusive way, has been a concern of the authorities involved in public health and sustainability of the natural resources, as a consequence of environmental contamination. Agrochemicals refer to a broad range of insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, and among them stands out atrazine, a herbicide intensively...
متن کاملBiodegradation of nonylphenol in soil.
We investigated the effects of various factors (brij 30, brij 35, yeast extract, hydrogen peroxide and compost) on the aerobic degradation of nonylphenol (NP) in soil and characterized the structure of the microbial community in that soil. Residues of NP were measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and a change of microbial communities was demonstrated using denaturing gradi...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Soil Contaminants
Many industrial and other human activities resulted in a widespread contamination of soils with various contaminants. Most of these contaminants are toxic to humans and animals . They reach humans and animals through migration into the atmosphere, groundwater and crops I. The pollution became especially disturbing in the past few decades, when the awareness of thi s problem resulted in the enor...
متن کاملBiodegradation of atrazine by Agrobacterium radiobacter J14a and use of this strain in bioremediation of contaminated soil.
We examined the ability of a soil bacterium, Agrobacterium radiobacter J14a, to degrade the herbicide atrazine under a variety of cultural conditions, and we used this bacterium to increase the biodegradation of atrazine in soils from agricultural chemical distribution sites. J14a cells grown in nitrogen-free medium with citrate and sucrose as carbon sources mineralized 94% of 50 microgram of [...
