2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) is of particular concern, as this synthetic auxin has been the most utilized herbicide in the past 50 years. It is prevalent in agricultural fields and has been widely applied in cereal crops to control broadleaved weeds. It inhibits the growth of leaf weeds by accumulating in the plant root. 2,4-D accumulated crops, on consumption, result in gastrointestinal haemorrhage, direct myocardial toxicity, CNS depression, renal failure, and other disorders. The bacterium Bacillus licheniformis strain SL10 finds potential application in the remediation of 2,4-dichlorophenol |
