Soils in which the microbial community had adapted to degrade carbofuran could be readily distinguished from unadapted soils by incubating a small quantity of the soil in an aqueous buffer containing 10 ppm carbofuran for 7 days. Adapted soils were characterized by a significant reduction (>90%) of the carbofuran concentration and a simultaneous increase in concentration of the stable phenolic hydrolysis product as determined by direct HPLC analysis of the solution. A simple colour test for the phenol also provided a measure of the activity of the soil toward carbofuran. |
