Degradation of 2,4-D herbicide by microorganisms isolated from Brazilian contaminated soil

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of this work was to isolate microorganisms from Brazilian soil contaminated with 2,4-D herbicide, and analyze the efficiency for 2,4D degradation, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Serratia marcescens and Penicillium sp had never been reported as able to degrade 2,4-D. The isolated strains represent a great potential for bioremediation.
