• Persistence and biological activity in soil of the insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, especially from transgenic plants (2005, methodology): “The immunological and larvicidal assays of soil from the rhizosphere of Bt corn grown in the field were also positive, even in soil collected after frost from plants that had been dead for several months, whereas they were negative for non-Bt corn (Saxena and Stotzky, 2000).”
• Fungal involvement in bioweathering and biotransformation of rocks and minerals (2003, background): “…of microorganisms with solid adsorbents can lead to an increase of biomass yield and growth rate and production of enzymes and metabolites (Stotzky, 1966, 2000; Haider et al., 1970; Martin et al., 1976; Fletcher, 1987; Zvyagintcev, 1987; Marshall, 1988; Clause and Filip, 1990; Kurdish and…”

• Fate and transport of antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes following land application of manure waste. (2009, background): “Th e stability of naked DNA in soil environments and the retention of its ability to transform cells has not been extensively studied, however several investigations have demonstrated that DNA adsorbed to surface active particles in soils are protected against nuclease activity (Cai et al., 2006b; S”
• A faunistic approach to assess potential side-effects of genetically modified Bt-Corn on non-target arthropods under field conditions (2004, background): “…microbial degradation, and they have been shown to remain biologically active in bioasssays with tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), and the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (Saxena et al. , 1999, 2002; Saxena & Stotzky, 2000).”
• Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin released from root exudates and biomass of Bt corn has no apparent effect on earthworms, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, and fungi in soil (2001, methodology): “…toxin con®rmed that the released toxin bound on surface-active particles in soil, which protected the toxin from biodegradation, as has been observed with puri®ed toxin (Tapp et al., 1994; Tapp and Stotzky, 1995a,b, 1998; Koskella and Stotzky, 1997; Crecchio and Stotzky, 1998, 2001; Stotzky, 2000).”

• Transgenic Bt cotton has no apparent effect on enzymatic activities or functional diversity of microbial communities in rhizosphere soil (2006, unknown): “The addition of biomass from Bt corn to soil resulted in a significantly lower gross metabolic activity (i.e., CO2 evolution) in soil than did the addition of non-Bt corn (Flores et al. 2005; Stotzky, 2000, 2004 ).”
