The distribution and breakdown of paraquat in the soil
The microbial degradation of paraquat dichloride by Lipomyces starkeyi was investigated by both spectrophotometric determination and c14-labelled carbon dioxide emission. 90% of the paraquat, when used in liquid culture as the sole nitrogen source, was decomposed in 72 hours.
