Phytoremediation of organiophosphorous (OP) compounds using axenic plant tissue cultures and enzyme extracts

摘要

The bioremediation of OP compounds (malathion, demeton-s-methyl, ruelene) was investigated in vitro using axenic plant tissue cultures of parrot feather, duckweed, and elodea. The decay profile in all these cases followed first-order kinetics. However, extents and rates of biotransformation were different, depending on both physico-chemical properties of the OP compounds and the nature of the plants, with 29-48
