In situ remediation of atrazine contaminated groundwater [PDF]
, 2006 The natural attenuation of groundwater pesticides by biological degradation, is widely accepted to occur at concentrations > 1 mg 1-1. However from observations of groundwater monitoring data it can be indicated that the occurrence of pesticides in ...

Expression of Anti-Atrazine scFv and Atrazine Chlorohydrolase TrzN in planta for Potential Phytoremediation of Atrazine Contamination [PDF]
, 2015 Atrazine is extensively used in agricultural production to improve crop yield throughout North America. Due to contamination of surface water with atrazine, which is an environmental concern, tools for mitigating such contamination are needed. In this study, the potential use of genetically modified plants for remediation of atrazine contamination was ...

Abundance of atrazine degrading genes trzN versus atzA in soil cultures and in situ degradation rates. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciAtrazine degradation in agricultural soils showed in situ half‐lives of 36–225 days. Field and laboratory results indicate active microbial hydrolysis driven mainly by trzN. Biphasic degradation sustains long‐term persistence, maintaining the potential for groundwater contamination despite reduced immediate leaching risk.

ATRAZINE DEGRADATION BY Bacillus megaterium ISOLATED FROM AGRICULTURAL SOIL [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2008 In present study the capability of some microorganisms isolated from Egyptian soil to a triazine herbicide, atriazine, decomposition was assessed. Nine atrazine-degrading bacteria were isolated from soil that received repeated exposures of the commonly ...

Substrate Specificity of Atrazine Chlorohydrolase and Atrazine-Catabolizing Bacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACT Bacterial atrazine catabolism is initiated by the enzyme atrazine chlorohydrolase (AtzA) in Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP. Other triazine herbicides are metabolized by bacteria, but the enzymological basis of this is unclear.

Mechanisms of Neurotoxicity Associated with Exposure to the Herbicide Atrazine
Toxics, 2021 Atrazine is an herbicide commonly used on crops to prevent broadleaf weeds. Atrazine is an endocrine-disrupting chemical mainly targeting the neuroendocrine system and associated axes, especially as a reproductive toxicant through attenuation of the ...

MONITORING AND TREATMENT OF ATRAZINE IN KAFR ELSHEIKH REGION WATER
Journal of Environmental Science, 2016 Pesticides have negative impact on the human health and environment. They were classified as possible human carcinogens. World health organization (WHO) has set a limit for Atrazine (ATZ) at concentration 2 ppb.
