Isolation and Screening of Oraganophosphorous Pesticides (Malathion) Degrading Organisms from Soil
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Organophosphate like Malathion is used for control of household and agricultural pests. High levels of malathion contaminates soil, water and aquatic ecosystems. The wide spread use of these pesticides over the years has resulted in problems caused by their interaction with the biological systems in the environment. Present study reports the isolation, morphological and Estimation of Malathion degrading bacteria. Soil samples collected from various agriculture field, Garage field, Garden, etc ( Vapi and Valsad Region). Malathion was used as a sole source of carbon to enumerate Malathion degrader. Total 15 isolates (AK1…AK15) were obtained from the soil sample, using Mineral Salt Medium.AK5 isolate as shows maximum percentage degradation at 100 ppm concentration of Malathion. The analysis shows that isolated organism belongs to Bacillus species.
