- Abstract
To mitigate the environmental effects of atrazine, one of the cleanup strategies available is based on the use of atrazine-degrading bacteria. This work aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a previously developed bioremediation tool for atrazine-contaminated soils (combining bioaugmentation with Pseudomonas sp. ADP, hereafter designated as P. ADP, and biostimulation with citrate) on both soil habitat and retention functions, by performing ecotoxicological tests with standard soil and aquatic species. Soil microcosms (incorporating earthworms, collembolans, and plants) were spiked with three doses of Atrazerba FL, an atrazine commercial formulation: the recommended dose (RD; 2 L/ha), 10 × RD and 20 &#x00D7...
