Transformation of the herbicides propanil and chlorpropham by micro‐algae

摘要

AbstractTwo species of green algae and four of blue‐green algae hydrolysed the acylanilide herbicide propanil to the aniline derivative, 3,4‐dichloroaniline. Of the cultures tested, only the blue‐green algaAnacystis nidulanswas shown to be capable of converting the phenylcarbamate herbicides propham and chlorpropham to the corresponding anilines. The green algaUlothrix fimbriatawas apparently unable to hydrolyse propanil or chlorpr
