ABSTRACT

In developing nations like India executes a pivotal role in agriculture and their significance in progress of crop yield is comprehended and very much acknowledged. The organophosphorus compounds are utilized as pesticides, plasticizers and for different things. Organophosphorus compounds are generally utilized as insecticides by which 34% of these pesticides are utilized around the world. Leaching of pesticides from farm causes soil and ground water contamination. Some reports revealed that the wide scope of water and earthbound biological system might be affected by organophosphorus compounds. Bioremediation can offer an ideal alternative for decontamination of contaminated ecosystem. Flavobacterium spp. was the first microorganism isolated in 1973 has the ability to degrade organophosphates. Many bacterial and fungal species have been isolated which can degrade organophosphates in soil as well as in submerged conditions. Subsequently the current paper audits the adequacy and usefulness of bioremediation technique for detoxification of organophosphorus compounds in soil. This review also include the isolation of those bacteria which can degrade the organophosphorus compounds from the soil. Keywords: Pesticides, Organophosphorus compounds, contamination, Bioremediation
