“…Ochrobactrum anthropi has been used to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) [44]; Ochrobactrum anthropi strain L1-W successfully degraded air pollutant Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) [45]. The effectiveness of bacteria in decomposing pesticides depends on the following environmental factors: pH and temperature [33], initial concentration of pesticide [46,47], optical density of microorganisms, etc. We conducted studies to determine the influence of temperature, initial pesticide concentration, and optical density of the PDB-3 strain.…”
