Abstract
During atrazine degradation by Rhodococcus sp, strain NI86/21, N-dealk ylated metabolites and an hydroxy-isopropyl derivative are produced. T he cytochrome P-450 system that is involved in degradation of thiocarb amate herbicides by strain NI86/21 (I. Nagy, G. Schoofs, F. Compernoll e, P. Proost, J. Vanderleyden, and R. De Mot, J. Bacteriol. 177:676-68 7, 1995) is also required for atrazine degradation. Atrazine-degrading activity was conferred on the atrazine-negative strains, mutant FAJ20 27 of Rhodococcus sp. strain NI86/21 and Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1, upon transformation with the genes encoding the cytochrome P-450 syst em,
