Study of the Bioremediation of Atrazine under Variable Carbon and Nitrogen Sources by Mixed Bacterial Consortium Isolated from Corn Field Soil in Fars Province of Iran

Table 3

The effect of inoculation of the bacterial consortium, initial atrazine concentration (μg g⁻¹ soil), and soil moisture (%) on atrazine reduction (%) after 30 days of incubation time in soil.
