Assessment of the effects of oxamyl on the bacterial community of an agricultural soil exhibiting enhanced biodegradation

Gallego S., Devers-Lamrani M., Rousidou K., Karpouzas D.G., Martin-Laurent F. (2019)

Modern agricultural practices largely rely on pesticides to protect crops against various pests and to ensure high yields. Following their application to crops a large amount of pesticides ends up in soil where they may ...
Distribution and function of carbamate hydrolase genes cehA and mcd in soils: The distinct role of soil pH

Rousidou C., Karaiskos D., Myti D., Karanasios E., Karas P.A., Tourna M., Tzortzakakis E.A., Karpouzas D.G. (2017)

Synthetic carbamates constitute a significant pesticide group with oxamyl being a leading compound in the nematicide market. Oxamyl degradation in soil is mainly microbially mediated. However, the distribution and function ...
Isolation of soil bacteria able to hydrolyze both organophosphate and carbamate pesticides

Chanika, E.; Georgiadou, D.; Soueref, E.; Karas, P.; Karanasios, E.; Tsiropoulos, N. G.; Tzortzakakis, E. A.; Karpouzas, D. G. (2011)

Two bacteria identified as Pseudomonas putida and Acinetobacter rhizosphaerae able to rapidly degrade the organophosphate (OP) fenamiphos (FEN) were isolated. Denaturating gradient gel electrophoresis analysis revealed ...
