Effect of glyphosate on fungal population, respiration and the decay of some organic matters in Egyptian soil

Glyphosate’s Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases

“…At the same time, genes involved in importing sugars were upregulated, which suggests a switch to anaerobic fermentation, producing pyruvate (a much less efficient solution) rather than oxidizing glucose for full breakdown to carbon dioxide and water. A switch to anaerobic metabolism is also suggested from a study showing that, in soil treated with glyphosate, the total count of fungi was significantly increased, while oxygen consumption was significantly inhibited [40].…”

Spectral, structural and energetic study of acephate, glyphosate, monocrotophos and phorate: an experimental and computational approach

“…The most suspected bonds for the chemical decomposition of titled molecules are P-N bond in acephate, C-N bond glyphosate, P-O bond in monocrotophos and P-S bond in phorate [28][29][30][31]. During the bio-decomposition, the most suspected bonds are C-N bond in acephate and glyphosate, P-O bond in monocrotophos and P-S bond in phorate [41][42][43][44][45][46]. Final products of all processes are phosphate oxides, ammonia and carbon dioxide [28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Uptake and toxicity of glyphosate in the lichen Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr.

“…Similar reductions in the dehydrogenase activity were found in soil microbial communities after treatment with glyphosate, with a 20% reduction being found at a glyphosate soil concentrations of 1 mg/g, and a 70% reduction was measured at 10 mg/g (Bennicelli et al, 2009). Abdel-Mallek et al (1994) find that oxygen consumption in soil treated with glyphosate was significantly inhibited. Ugarte (2014) showed that glyphosate inhibits the activity of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme that takes part in the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.…”
