Pseudomonas sp. RPT 52 utilized three chemically different pesticides as sole carbon source.
Order of rate of degradation was endosulfan > coragen > imidacloprid.
Degradation process reduced the toxicity of these pesticides.
RPT 52 degraded endosulfan and coragen in soil microcosm.
First report of degradation of chemically unrelated pesticides by single bacterial strain.
