ABSTRACT:
A pure bacterial culture, designated herein as M91-3, has been isolated which rapidly degrades certain s-triazines, particularly halogenated s-triazines. The M91-3 degrades s-triazines, particularly atrazine, beyond the point of ring cleavage, leading to complete mineralization of the atrazine. The ability of M91-3 to completely degrade atrazine appears to be unique among bacteria. The M91-3 is capable of degrading s-triazine in solution and in presence of soil or sediment. The invention also relates to a method for degrading s-triazines, particularly atrazine.
