Microorganisms can survive in polluted environment, which develop potential to degrade substances that are harmful to the environment. Environmental pollution caused by the leaking of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to surface and groundwater, causing serious environmental and social problems throughout the world. Soil samples have been taken from vegetables and cotton plantation that has history of using pesticide for controlling pests. Isolation of these microorganisms has been carried out by using serially diluted sample by streaking on suitable nutrient media. The positive isolates growing at different concentration of pesticides in the nutrient media have been characterized with respect to their morphology and biochemical reactions. The pesticide degradation study is carried out by using potential isolates grown at different pesticide level in the growth media and the degradation has been studied at different concentration during one week of incubation. The degradation products are analyzed by GCMS. The results of pesticide degradation are discussed.
