Article Synopsis
- Microbial degradation is the primary method through which the nematicide oxamyl is broken down in the environment, but knowledge about the specific microorganisms that carry out this process is limited.
- Researchers isolated four bacterial strains from agricultural soil that effectively degrade oxamyl and identified them as part of the Pseudomonas genus through multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA).
- These bacteria convert oxamyl into oxamyl oxime, utilize methylamine as a nutrient source, and contain a gene similar to a previously known carbamate-hydrolase gene, indicating their role in oxamyl hydrolysis and the ability to degrade other similar carbamate compounds.
