Biodegradation of λ-cyhalothrin by Bacillus sp. isolated from pesticide-polluted site: Isolation, identification, and optimization of its growth parameters

Biodegradation of λ-cyhalothrin by Bacillus sp. isolated from pesticide-polluted site: Isolation, identification, and optimization of its growth parameters

λ-cyhalothrin (LC), a frequently used synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, poses a substantial risk to human health and the environment due to its prolonged presence in plants, soil, and water. This study aimed to identify and characterize bacteria with the ability to degrade and utilize λ-cyhalothrin...
