Biodegradation of Pesticides at the Limit: Kinetics and Microbial Substrate Use at Low Concentrations

Biodegradation of Pesticides at the Limit: Kinetics and Microbial Substrate Use at Low Concentrations

The objective of our study was to test whether limited microbial degradation at low pesticide concentrations could explain the discrepancy between overall degradability demonstrated in laboratory tests and their actual persistence in the environment. Studies on pesticide degradation are often perfor...
