BIODEGRADATION KINETICS OF THE HERBICIDE ROUNDUP BY SOME SOIL MICROORGANISMS
ABSTRACT Bacterial biodegradation of xenobiotics has been seen as one of the biological means of bioremediation of polluted site. This study was designed to isolate bacteria from soil and to evaluate their ability to biodegrade glyphosate which is a water soluble, non-selective herbicide used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses known to compete with commercial crops grown around the globe. The bacteria that were able to grow ...
