First Report of Imidacloprid Biodegradation by Cladosporium cladosporioides: Kinetic Modeling, Transformation Products, and Toxicity Reduction

This study reports, for the first time, the aerobic degradation of imidacloprid by a native fungal strain of Cladosporium cladosporioides, isolated and identified using ITS region sequencing (ITS1/ITS4). Degradation experiments were conducted in aqueous batch cultures supplemented with glucose using initial imidaclopri...
