Effects of pesticides on soil enzymes: a review (2014, background): “…population, many authors reported the ability of telluric bacteria or fungi to degrade this insecticide which could induce an increase in microbial biomass and/or an activation of enzymatic production (Bhalerao and Puranik 2007; Kataoka et al. 2010, 2011; Castillo et al. 2011; Yu et al. 2012).”
Ecofriendly Method for Bioremediation of Chlorpyrifos from Agricultural Soil by Novel Fungus Aspergillus terreus JAS1 (2012, unknown): “After incubation, the length of fungal growth along the gradient was recorded (Bhalerao and Puranik 2007).”
Microbial degradation of pesticide: A review (2017, background): “…was tested for their endosulfan degrading ability and it was noted that the culture could tolerate 400 mg/ml of technical grade endosulfan and the complete disappearance of endosulfan was seen after 12 days of incubation (Bhalerao and Puranik, 2007), which was indicated by the evolution of CO2.”
