Effect of dissemination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) degradation plasmids on 2,4-D degradation and on bacterial community structure in two different soil horizons

Article Abstract:

Inoculating soil with a strain of bacterium that contains plasmids that will degrade specific pollutants can increase the biodegradation activity of the soil. The plasmids will be transmitted to other soil bacteria, and this form of bioaugmentation can be used in soils that have low levels of biodegrading bacteria.

Synergistic degradation of linuron by a bacterial consortium and isolation of a single linuron-degrading Variovorax strain

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that a single isolate, Variovorax sp. strain WDL1 can degrade linuron, which is enhanced by synergistic interaction with the other strains forming the bacterial consortium. Data show that Variovorax sp. strain WDL1 uses linuron as its sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy.
