A carbaryl-hydrolyzing bacterium was isolated from flooded rice soil with a history of carbaryl application. The characteristics of the isolate closely resembled those of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, it exhibited negative gelatinase reaction and was nonmotile, hence, it was tentatively identifie...
