Degradation of methomyl by the combination of<i>Aminobacter</i>sp. MDW-2 and<i>Afipia</i>sp. MDW-3

Abstract

This study presents a bacterial combination of Aminobacter sp. MDW-2 and Afipia sp. MDW-3, which could degrade methomyl completely by biochemical cooperation. This study also proposes the biodegradation pathway of methomyl for the first time and highlights the application potential of a bacterial combination in the remediation of methomyl-contaminated environments.
