Fig. 5From: Oligotrophic bacterium Hymenobacter latericoloratus CGMCC 16346 degrades the neonicotinoid imidacloprid in surface waterTime course of imidacloprid degradation by resting cells (a), growing culture (b), and imidacloprid remediation in tanks containing surface water (c). The resting cell transformation broth (a) contained 2% maltose as co-substrate and the OD600 = 5. The total volume of surface water (c) was 2.5 L inoculated with 3 × 107 cells/mLBack to article page
