Abstract
A method for degradation of s-triazine compounds, including atrazine, which utilizes an atrazine degrading Pseudomonas (ADP) bacterium and its enzymes is provided. ADP was isolated from atrazine-contaminated soil and is phylogenetically close to P. aeruginosa and P. citronellolis. When ADP is cultivated on atrazine medium, it produces enzymes that can completely degrade atrazine to yield CO.sub.2 from ring carbons.
