Abstract

The application of new pesticides requires careful monitoring of their distribution in the environment. The effect of the soil microflora on the stability of the [¹⁴C]- labelled juvenoid hormone analogue W-328 was estimated. The micro-organisms from two different soil samples were isolated and tested for their ability to decompose W-328. One bacterial strain, yeast and mold isolates, exhibited the degradation activity. The growth characteristics such as pH and temperature optima were determined. The degradation products were estimated using HPLC.
