Effect of inoculant density, formulation, dispersion and soil nutrient amendment on the removal of carbofuran residues from contaminated soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a carbofuran-degrading bacterium as an inoculant to remove contaminated soil was investigated and the effect of soil glucose amendment on pesticide degradation by strain C28, in a liquid or solid formulation, depended on the concentration of the sugar and on inoculants density.
