Abstract

Haloorganic biocides are widely employed as soil fumigants to combat the destructive action of plant parasitic nematodes and fungi. These substances are dehalogenated by soil organisms, principally species of Pseudomonas and Flavobacteria, to nontoxic metabolities. The paths of metabolism of a vareity of simply alkyl halides are described with emphasis upon the biodehalogenation step.
