Dna Techniques To Assess Response Of Soil Microbial Communities To Pesticides; Pesticide-degrading Bacteria Are Being Isolated For Bioremediation.
Molecular techniques are being explored to assess changes in soil microbial communities following contamination, and as end-point assessment tools for remediation. Briefly, DNA is extracted from soils and PCR techniques are used to develop fingerprints and sequences for profiling communities and identifying individual components of the community. Various pesticide-degrading bacteria (particularly the triazine herbicides) are being isolated and investigated for bioremediation, particularly with respect to traits which contribute to bioremediation competence.
