Molecular Characterization of Bacterial Species Isolated from Tomatoes and Beans and Its Potential Ability to Degrade Carbamates Pesticides

Carbamate pesticides are synthetic chemicals broadly utilized in agribusiness to control crop pests, enhance crop quality, and amplify the life of nourishment crops. Be that as it may, its aimless utilization, inalienable properties, and the probability of having impacts on non-target life forms has made it a pollutant of concern within the environment. The research inspected the molecular characterization of bacterial species isolated from tomatoes and beans and their potential ability to degrade carbamate pesticides. Samples of tomatoes and beans were purchased randomly from Amai market in Ukwani L.G.A, Delta State. The enrichment technique was used to isolate the potential carbamate (Aldicarb) degrading bacterial species. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was used to characterize the isolate using a universal 16SrRNA primer. Streptococcus pyogenes CNRZ1066, Pseudomonas putida strain ZR007 and Micrococcus luteus NCTC2665 were isolated from tomatoes.
