Metabolism of the herbicide atrazine by Rhodococcus strains
TLDR
The N dealkylation of triazine herbicides by Rhodococcus strain TE1 was associated with a 77-kb plasmid previously shown to be required for EPTC degradation.
Degradation of atrazine in laboratory microcosms: Isolation and identification of the biodegrading bacteria
TLDR
Several natural ecosystems, including soil and water microcosms, have been explored for their potential to biodegrade atrazine and a selected bacteria, originating from an agricultural soil, has been identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, which alone in pure culture can degrade atrazin.

Degradation and mineralization of atrazine by a soil bacterial isolate.
TLDR
This is the first report of a pure bacterial isolate with the ability to cleave the s-triazine ring structure of atrazine, and it was concluded that this bacterium was capable of dealkylation, dechlorination, and deamination in addition to ring cleavage.
The atzABC Genes Encoding Atrazine Catabolism Are Located on a Self-Transmissible Plasmid in Pseudomonas sp. Strain ADP
TLDR
High-performance liquid chromatography analyses showed that cyanuric acid degradation was not encoded by pADP-1, which suggests a potential molecular mechanism for the dispersion of theatzABC genes to other soil bacteria.
The Atrazine Catabolism Genes atzABC Are Widespread and Highly Conserved
TLDR
It is shown that five geographically distinct atrazine-degrading bacteria contain genes homologous to atzA, -B, and -C, which indicates that globally distributed atrazines are highly conserved in diverse genera of bacteria.
