Biodegradation of the phenoxy herbicides 2,4-D and MCPP

Biodegradation of the phenoxy herbicides 2,4-D and MCPP

The present study was undertaken to characterize the biodegradation of phenoxy herbicides, 2,4-D and MCPP, under aerobic conditions. Specifically, the work had the following objectives; i) to develop and characterize bacterial mixed cultures for the 2,4-D and MCPP degradation, ii) to evaluate the degradation of 2,4-D and MCPP in shake-flasks and stirred tank reactors; and iii) to evaluate the treatment of industrial fertilizer solid wste material containing 2,4-D and MCPP.
