Purpose: Scientists have identified a plenty of bacterial strains having ability to degrade pesticide residues accumulated in the environment. Due wide variation chemical properties pesticides, single strain may not be versatile. Hence, identification bioremediation various bacteria is important. This review focused on understanding and explaining role soil detoxification ability. Research Meth...

The goal of regenerative agriculture is to utilize technologies that build healthy soils and improve the environment. Microbial could play a significant role in reducing reliance on synthetic herbicides for weed control. In United States, expenditure exceeds $5 billion annually accounts 58% total pesticide use nationally. This overreliance chemical control has exacerbated herbicide resistance m...

In August President Clinton continued his campaign of using federal action to protect food safety when he signed into law an overhaul of the legislation that sets permissible levels for pesticide residues in foods. The legislation (P.L. 104-170), known as the Food Quality Protection Act, supplants sections of both the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal F...

Chemical contamination of natural and agricultural habitats is an increasing global problem and a major threat to sustainability and human health. Organophosphorus (OP) compounds are one major class of contaminant and can undergo microbial degradation, however, no studies have applied system-wide ecogenomic tools to investigate OP degradation or use metagenomics to understand the underlying mec...
