Degradation of propanil by Acinetobacter baumannii DT immobilized in alginate

Abstract

The herbicide propanil has been widely applied in Vietnam and around the world to control weeds. In this study, Acinetobacter baumannii DT isolated from soil was used to determine propanil degradation. Degradation experiments were carried out with condensed cells at 109 CFU/ml with both free and immobilized forms of the bacteria...
