Abstract
An organophosphate-degrading soil isolate of Pseudomonas sp. A3, immob ilized at 5% (wet wt/v) cell mass in 3% (w/v) sodium alginate beads, d etoxified 99% of 1 mM methylparathion in 48 h. The beads were re-usabl e for five batches, the sixth batch only giving 73% methylparathion re moval.
