Abstract:
For the purpose of biodegradation studies several microorganisms were isolated from soil and adapted under laboratory conditions in the presence of pesticides, with the following degradation results: isoproturon after 72 h-86%, chlortoluron after 72 h-93%, after 65 h-88% and fenitrothion after 72 h-66%. The cultures can be used for the biodegradation of pesticides in the lyophilized state with or without an organic carrier.
