Abstract:

Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl Glycine) is an organophosphorus pesticide with dangerous effects by enters the food chain of Ecosystem. In this study, the biodegradation of glyphosate herbicide by native bacteria isolated from glyphosate sprayed banana plantation soil was investigated.

Keywords:

Glyphosate, Biodegradation, Native bacterial strains
