Identification of Pesticides Degrading Microorganisms

Nilesh P. Bhosle

The bacterial isolated from pesticides treated soils were found to be capable of growing in the presence of Cypermethrin-25EC, Carbendazim and 2,4-D pesticides. Those were identified on the basis of 16s-rDNA sequencing using universal primers at National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) Pune. The 16s-rDNA sequence thus obtained was compared with data base of all known sequences using BLAST program available at NCBI server, and the bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus cereus were identified on the basis of 16s-rDNA sequencing.
