چکیده

Nine mycorrhizal fungi and free-living saprophytic microorganisms were tested for their ability to degrade two chlorinated aromatic herbicides at two herbicide concentrations and three nitrogen concentrations. Radiolabelled 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) were used as substrates at concentrations of 1 and 4 mM. After 8 weeks, none of the cultures tested grew at 4 mM 2,4-D. However, when the 2,4-D concentration was reduced to 1 mM, Phanerochaete chrysosporium 1767 had the highest level of 2,4-D mineralization and degradation under all nitrogen conditions. All cultures tested grew at both atrazine concentrations. In all cases, the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Hymenoscyphus ericae 1318 had the highest level of atrazine carbon incorporated into its tissue. In general, as the nitrogen concentration increased, the total herbicide degradation increased. All of the cultures, except for Rhizopogon vinicolor 7534 and Sclerogaster pacificus 9011, showed increased degradation at 4 mM compared with 1 mM atrazine. The ability to degrade these two herbicides thus appeared to be dependent on the fungus and the herbicide, with no correlation to fungal ecotype (mycorrhizal versus free living).

Direct hapten coated immunoassay format for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides.

A novel immunoassay format employing direct coating of small molecular hapten on microtiter plates is reported for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D). In this assay, the polystyrene surface of microtiter plates was first treated with an acid to generate -NO2 groups on the surface. Acid treated plates were further treated with 3-aminoprpyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to f...

Background: Evaluation of herbicide pollution in aquatic environments needs the great concern and the most important echo-pollutant effects of herbicides are related to their effects on non target aquatic organisms. Native fish can serve as a proper bio-indicator for evaluation  of pollution on aquatic ecosystems. OBJECTIVES: To find environmentally friendly herbicides, in this study the acute ...
