1. Spatio-temporal Analysis Of Atrazine Degradation And Associated Attributes In Eastern Colorado Soils

Atrazine catabolism is an example of a rapidly evolved soil microbial adaptation. In the last 20 years, atrazine-degrading bacteria have become globally distributed, and many soils have developed enhanced capacities to degrade atrazine, reducing its half-life from 60 to a few days or less. While the presence of atrazine-degrading bacteria determine a soil's potential to catabolize atrazine,... M. Stromberger, R. Khosla, D. Shaner, D. Zach
