Description
Saheli Sur and Mythili Sathiavelu profile a soil bacterium that breaks down a pesticide in a 2024 study. The strain was found in sugarcane fields in Tamil Nadu, India, where it had long faced the pesticide dimethoate. It could live on the chemical as its sole carbon source. In lab media it broke down nearly ninety six percent of a strong dose within five days.
Chemical analysis mapped the breakdown products and a likely pathway, with less toxic leftovers than the parent chemical. The bacterium also showed plant growth traits, making helpful compounds and forming biofilms. That mix could clean farm pollution while aiding crops. Readers see a single strain pitched as both cleaner and crop helper.
