Microbial activity has an impact on pesticide destiny in the environment. Some insecticides are easily destroyed by microbes, whereas others have proved difficult to break down. Pesticides are metabolized by a wide range of bacteria, including representatives of the genera Alcaligenes, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, and Rhodococcus. Microbial degradation is influenced by a variety of environmental factors, including the existence of microorganisms with the necessary degradative enzymes. Pesticide use has been beset by problems, with the pendulum swinging from organochlorine persistence to the low efficacy and rapid biodegradation of non-chlorinated alternatives. This study examines the biology or molecular characterization of certain pesticide-degrading bacteria to explain current advancements in pesticide biodegradation.
