TLDR
In this paper, the final degradative pathways of atrazine (I) by a Nocardia strain through experiments on the degradation of its metabolite, 4-amino-2-chloro-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (IIa), were elucidated.Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the final degradative pathways of atrazine (I) by a Nocardia strain through experiments on the degradation of its metabolite, 4-amino-2-chloro-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (IIa). This compound, in the bacterial medium, was transformed into several products identified as 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine (IIc), 4-amino-2-hydroxy-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (VIII), 4-amino-1,2-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-2-one (IV) and dicyanodi-amidine (VII). The formation of (IIc) was attributed to a microbial N-dealkylation, while the detection of (IV) and (VII) was attributed to a chemical degradation of the intermediate 4-amino-2-chloro-1,3,5-triazine (III). Compound (III) undergoes rapid hydrolysis and does not accumulate in the culture medium. On the basis of the microbial and chemical results, we propose a degradative pathway for atrazine.read more

Biodegration of s-triazine xenobiotics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the potential for biodegradation of s-triazines as an example and with biological treatment of wastewater containing s-Triazines as the aim, but the system was not practicable because the specific enzymes were too low, because of inhibition by salt in the wastewater and because expensive carbon sources were necessary.

TL;DR: The DNA sequence of this region was determined and found to contain two large overlapping divergent open reading frames, ORF1 and ORF2, which catalyze the first two steps of the metabolic pathway in a bacterium that rapidly metabolizes atrazine to carbon dioxide, ammonia, and chloride.

Field-scale remediation of atrazine-contaminated soil using recombinant Escherichia coli expressing atrazine chlorohydrolase
TL;DR: The first field-scale atrazine remediation study in the United States using chemically killed, recombinant organisms indicates that genetically engineered bacteria overexpressing catabolic genes significantly increased degradation in this soil heavily contaminated with atrazin.
