Suspensions of soil repeatedly treated with carbofuran under glasshouse conditions enhanced the degradation of carbofuran signiรcantly in a mineral salts medium. Ninety-seven per cent of the applied carbofuran degraded in a medium inoculated with soil suspensions treated with carbofuran, compared to
Standing water from carbofuran-treated Azolla plots showing accelerated degradation was further enriched by ยฎve repeated transfers to carbofuran-supplemented mineral salts medium. This enrichment culture developed from standing water of carbofuran-treated Azolla plot can utilise carbofuran as sole s
Several denitrifying Pseudomonas spp., isolated with various aromatic compounds, were tested for the ability to degrade toluene in the absence of molecular oxygen. Four out of seven strains were able to degrade toluene in the presence of N2O. More than 50% of the 14C from ring-labelled toluene was r
