Abstract
The degradation of herbicide atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1, 3, 5-triazine) by a soil bacterium is reported. The bacterium involved is a species of Nocardia, which utilizes the atrazine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. A new metabolite, 4-amino-2-chloro-1, 3, 5-triazine, of the degradation of atrazine in the presence of glucose has been identified. The results further substantiated that atrazine can be degraded by soil microorganisms and indicated that deamination can also occur, as well as dealkylation. 4-Amino-2-chloro-1,3,5-triazine did not show phytotoxic activity to oat (Avena sativa L.), demonstrating that deamination insures detoxification.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
