TLDR
The potential for in situ bioremediation of fipronil contaminated soil by bioaugmentation using efficient bacterial isolates was revealed and two bacterial strains Staphylococcus arlettae and Bacillus thuringiensis could degrade fipronsil in both liquid culture and soil.Abstract:
The aim of the current study was to analyze the abundance and activity of soil microflora in response to fipronil residues, as well as conjointly to isolate and identify bacteria for the bioremedia...read more

Biodegradation of fipronil: current state of mechanisms of biodegradation and future perspectives
TL;DR: A review of the literature on the degradation of fipronil, focusing on biodegradation pathways and identifying the main knowledge gaps that currently exist in order to inform future research is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the insecticide fipronil in freshwater model organisms and microbial and periphyton communities.
TL;DR: This work allows us to better understand the impact of fipronil on the environment at different levels of the food chain and in different environmental conditions, a necessary point given its presence in the environment and the complex behaviour of this compound.

Use of p-nitrophenyl phosphate for assay of soil phosphatase activity
M. A. Tabatabai,J. M. Bremner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method of assaying soil phosphatase activity is described, which involves colorimetric estimation of the p-nitrophenol released by the enzyme when the soil is incubated with buffered (pH 6·5) sodium pnphosphorus solution and toluene at 37°C for 1 hour.
