Abstract
Atrazine is a herbicide with low toxicity. It has been widely used for a long time in the world, which leads to the pollution of a large area of soil, ground water and underground water. Study on biodegradation of atrazine is one of the research focuses in the current world. The analysis of atrazine and degradation products, the screening methods and microorganisms, the biodegradation pathway and degrading enzyme were reviewed in this paper. The application of pesticide biodegradation microorganism was also viewed.
