An overview on biodegradation of carbamate pesticides by soil bacteria

Carbamates are poisonous pesticides which have been used widely in agriculture production for decades. Unlike other pesticides such as organophosphate, carbamate pesticides are not persistent in the environment however, their degradation is crucial due to their toxicity to living system. The World H...
