“…The species of bacteria and soil fungi distinguishing the strongest activity in degrading pesticides are: bacteria of the genera arthobacter, bacillus, corynebacterium, flavobacterium, and pseudomonas; actinomycetales of the genera nocardia and streptomyces; and fungi penicillium, aspergillus, fusarium, and trichoderma (Feakin, 1995;Kucharski, 2009;Omar, 2001;Rousseaux et al, 2001). Kolić (2007), Topp (2001), and Vibber et al (2007) pointed out in their research, the biggest Abd-Alrahman and Salem-Bekhit 331 biodegradation potential concerning bacteria Pseudomonas sp. and Nocardioides sp.…”

Accumulation of obsolete pesticides in the environment is a global problem. The scale of the problem in different countries varies depending on economic situation and social awareness. Only limited data are available on the microbial biodegradation of butachlor. Biodegradation of butachlor by different microorganisms was investigated. Six bacterial strains were isolated from an agricultural soil and found to be actively utilized butachlor, as a sole source of carbon and energy. Based on their morphological and biochemical categorization, the six bacterial and fungal isolates were identified as Psedomonas alcaligens, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus megaterium, Trichoderma viride, Rhizobium huakuii and Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Results show that the Trichoderma viride and Psedomonas alcaligens quickly degraded butachlor and reached nearly 98 and 75% in a medium containing 50 mg/kg of butachlor after 15 and 21 days, respectively. Our results can conclude that these two organisms can be used to degrade the obsolete butachlor formulation.

“…However, none of the microorganisms showed to carry atzD, E or F genes (Smith et al, 2005). Kolic et al (2007) characterized a four-member atrazine-mineralizing community enriched from an agrochemical factory soil, which was capable of rapidly mineralizing atrazine (approx. 78% of atrazine was released as 14 CO 2 within 6 days).…”

“…Their persistence and behaviour in a soil environment depend on an herbicide's physical and chemical properties as well as on the soil type, climate conditions and environmental characteristics Stipičević et al 2009;Mudhoo and Garg 2011;Stipičević et al 2015). The environmental distribution of herbicides and the potential risks they may cause to the environment are determined by the herbicide's water solubility, lipophilicity, vapour pressure, as well as by the rate and mode (photochemical, microbiological) of degradation (Stamper and Touvinen 1998;Konstantinou et al 2001;Navarro et al 2004;Udiković Kolić et al 2007;Shankar et al 2008;Krutz et al 2010). Herbicides can evaporate from the soil surface into the atmosphere (Glotfelty et al 1987;Sanusi et al 2000;Thurman and Cromwell 2000;Mast et al 2007;Majewski et al 2014), from which they may be removed back to the ground and water bodies by wet and dry depositions (Goolsby et al 1997).…”

The frequency and mass concentrations of 13 herbicide micropollutants (triazines, phenylureas, chloroacetanilides and trifluralin) were investigated during 2014 in surface, ground and drinking waters in the area of the city of Zagreb and its suburbs. Herbicide compounds were accumulated from water by solid-phase extraction using either octadecylsilica or styrene-divinylbenzene sorbent cartridges and analysed either by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV-diode array detector or gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Atrazine was the most frequently detected herbicide in drinking (84 % of samples) and ground (61 % of samples) waters in mass concentrations of 5 to 68 ng L. It was followed by metolachlor and terbuthylazine, the former being detected in 54 % of drinking (up to 15 ng L) and 23 % of ground (up to 100 ng L) waters, and the latter in 45 % of drinking (up to 20 ng L) and 26 % of ground (up to 25 ng L) water samples. Acetochlor was the fourth most abundant herbicide in drinking waters, detected in 32 % of samples. Its mass concentrations of 107 to 117 ng L in three tap water samples were the highest of all herbicides measured in the drinking waters. The most frequently (62 % of samples) and highly (up to 887 ng L) detected herbicide in surface waters was metolachlor, followed by terbuthylazine detected in 49 % of samples in mass concentrations of up to 690 ng L, and atrazine detected in 30 % of samples in mass concentrations of up to 18 ng L. The seasonal variations in herbicide concentrations in surface waters were observed for terbuthylazine, metolachlor, acetochlor, chlortoluron and isoproturon with the highest concentrations measured from April to August.
