Time 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/mL
