Abstract
A pH of 7.0, a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, an initial bacterial concentration of 0.25%, and a rotation speed of 150 revolutions per minute were shown to be ideal for degradation. Bacillus sp. YB-10, under ideal circumstances, may decrease an initial omethoate concentration of 1,000 mg/L to undetectable levels in 5 days. The soil sample was taken from a location with a long record of pesticide use: Agricultural University Gwalior in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Staphylococcus sp., a kind of bacteria, was shown to be capable of decomposing Malathion and Dichlorvos. Strains of Micrococcus. Several species of the bacteria Entrobacte, Bordetella, Pseudomonas, and Klebsella.
