- Abstract
- Pesticide and nitrate contamination of soil and groundwater from agriculture is an
environmental and public health concern worldwide. Simazine, 6-chloro-N 2 ,N 4 -diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-
diamine, is a triazine herbicide used in agriculture for selective weed control with several types of
crops and it is frequently applied to soils receiving N-fertilizers. Degradation experiments were performed
in the laboratory to assess whether the biodegradation of simazine in soil may be influenced by the
presence of urea. Simazine degradation rates under different experimental conditions (presence/absence
of urea, microbiologically active/sterilized soil) were assessed together with the formation, degradation
and transformation of its main metabolites in soil. Simazine degradation was affected by the presence of
urea, in terms both of a smaller half-life (t1 2) and of a higher amount of desethyl-simazine formed. The soil
bacterial community was also studied. Microbial abundances were determined by epifluorescence direct
counting. Moreover in situ hybridization with rRNA-targeted fluorescent oligonucleotide probes was used
to analyze the bacterial community structure. Fluorescent in situhybridization (FISH) was used to detect
specific groups of bacteria such as the ? ,,-subdivisions of Proteobacteria, Gram-positive bacteria
with a high G +C DNA content, Planctomycetes, Betaproteobacterial ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and
nitrifying bacteria. The presence of the herbicide and/or urea affected the bacterial community structure,
showing that FISH is a valuable tool for determining the response of bacterial populations to different
environmental conditions. (literal)
