Abstract

A carbofuran-metabolizing Pseudomonas sp. was investigated for its capability to degrade some other toxic carbamates and its effectiveness as a decontaminant for carbamate-polluted water samples. The organisms degraded both aldicarb and carbaryl. It also decontaminated carbofuran-fortified water samples from various sources in the absence of additional nutrients under laboratory conditions. This microorganism harbored several plasmids which may be involved in the degradation of carbamates. Pseudomonas sp. may potentially be used for biological treatment of wastewater and groundwater.
