Abstract
A strain of Pseudomonas putida isolated from rice field soil effectively hydrolyzed methyl parathion. The hydrolysis was profoundly influenced by cell concentration, moisture content of the soil and temperature at which the soil was incubated. Increase in cell concentration increased the degradation of methyl parathion. At 30°C, 68.7% methyl parathion was degraded in 10 days and 50% moisture content favoured maximum degradation of methyl parathion.
