In situ remediation of atrazine contaminated groundwater [PDF]
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 ...

Abundance of atrazine degrading genes trzN versus atzA in soil cultures and in situ degradation rates. [PDF]
Atrazine 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.

Expression of Anti-Atrazine scFv and Atrazine Chlorohydrolase TrzN in planta for Potential Phytoremediation of Atrazine Contamination [PDF]
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 ...

Substrate Specificity of Atrazine Chlorohydrolase and Atrazine-Catabolizing Bacteria [PDF]
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.

Plantain-based diet modulates atrazine-induced testicular toxicities in rats
Objective: To assess the potential of plantain-based diet in modulating testicular toxicities in rats exposed to atrazine. Methods: The plantain-based diet at 50%, 25% and 12.5% were prepared from the basal diet by substituting the corn starch with ...

Investigating the in situ degradation of atrazine in groundwater [PDF]
This study focused on whether or not atrazine could be degraded by indigenous groundwater bacteria as part of an in situ remediation approach. Groundwater was taken from an unconfined middle upper chalk site where concentrations of atrazine and nitrate ...

Alfalfa’s response to atrazine stress and its secreted atrazine metabolites
Although listed as endocrine disruptor compounds, atrazine (ATZ) is still used in large quantities in agricultural production. Here, alfalfa seedling was cultivated in hydroponic media to investigate the toxic effects of ATZ on alfalfa and accumulation of ATZ in tissues of different plant parts. Alfalfa had a strong upward translocation ability to ATZ.
