Statistical evaluation of the bioremediation performance of Ochrobactrum thiophenivorans and Sphingomonas melonis bacteria on Imidacloprid insecticide in artificial agricultural field.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pesticides are applied directly on the soil or on the vegetation, and thus, they can reach the receiving environment easily. In this way, environmental damage that stems from pesticides also affects public health and the natural habitat. Pesticides are one of the most harmful pollutant groups in terms of human health, fauna and the environment. They penetrate the application field and the applicator right after the application and start to show adverse effects.

Methods

The bioremediation of the Imidacloprid (C9H₁₀ClN₅O₂) insecticide, which is used commonly in Mediterranean climate, was compared with some soil bacteria in artificially prepared fields. For this purpose, firstly, it was determined whether the soil samples taken from a
