Biodegradation of malathion, α- and β-endosulfan by bacterial strains isolated from agricultural soil in Veracruz, Mexico

Endosulfan removal through bioremediation, photocatalytic degradation, adsorption and membrane separation processes: A review

“…Odukkathil and Vasudevan [119] recorded that Bordetella petrii I had degraded 89% of α-endosulfan and 84% of β-endosulfan whilst Bordetella petrii II was capable in degrading 82% of both endosulfan isomers. Jimenez-Torres et al [120] reported that Enterobacter cloacae strain PMM16 had degraded 100% of β-endosulfan and 71.32% of α-endosulfan within twentyfour days through non-oxidative pathways on basis of the absence degradation metabolites such as endosulfan lactone, endosulfan sulfate or endosulfan diol. [26] Biodenitrification with sand filtering was found to be an efficient method with over 70 % removal efficiency of the endosulfan [132].…”

Biodegradation of Malathion in Amended Soil by Indigenous Novel Bacterial Consortia and Analysis of Degradation Pathway

“…Acinetobacter johnsonii can degrade malathion co-metabolically, as it cannot devour malathion as a sole carbon source [22]. Similarly, bacterial species, such as Bacillus licheniformis [23], Pseudomonas putida, Rhodoccocus rhodochrous, Sphingomonas species [10], Enterobacter amnigenus [24], and Bacillus species [25], isolated from diverse samples, were found to be exceptionally proficient in malathion degradation.…”
