Bioremediation of atrazine-contaminated soil is considered a safe and effective approach in removing contaminates from the soil. However, the effects of adding foreign organisms to assist bioremediation on soil environmental quality and ecosystem are unclear. Here, the ecological remediation potential of strain Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens ZF1 on atrazine-contaminated soil was investigated through miniature experiments using variations in soil enzymes and bacterial communities as indicators.

It is worthwhile to investigate the insecticidal mechanisms of these two proteins against Baly, which is a serious pest of cruciferous vegetables in China and other Asian countries. To that end, the genes encoding the Sip1Ab and Cry8Ca proteins were amplified from the strain QZL38 genome, then expressed in , after which bioassays were conducted in larvae.

DY-1 was isolated from the agricultural soil contaminated five years by prometryne, it manifested an outstanding prometryne degradation efficiency and an untapped potential for plant resistance improvement.

However, the stability of prometryne makes it difficult to be degraded, which poses a threat to human health. This study presents a bacterial strain isolated from soil samples with a prometryne application history, designated strain DY-1.
