atrazine degradation UPa:UPA00008 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine degradation GO:0019381 pathway KEGG:map01120 KEGG:map00791 KEGG:map01100 Degradation of atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine), a chlorinated compound used throughout industry and agriculture. Degradation contaminates soils and persists until it is metabolized by microorganisms. A range of soil bacteria, including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains can degrade atrazine, utilizing it as a nitrogen and carbon source. MetaCyc:P141-PWY xenobiotic degradation
