Importance of Methane Oxidation for Microbial Degradation of the Herbicide Bentazone in Drinking Water Production

Importance of Methane Oxidation for Microbial Degradation of the Herbicide Bentazone in Drinking Water Production

Bentazone is a herbicide, which is frequently detected in groundwater due to its mobility and persistence in aquifers. Groundwater is used as a drinking water source all over the world, and sustainable methods to remove pesticides at low concentrations are urgently needed since pesticide contaminati...
