Abstract

The present study aimed to identify Bacillus licheniformis in Iraqi environments and test their ability to degrade the pesticides usuallyed in agricultural fields. Three temperatures (25, 30, 35 ^oC) and pH values (5,7,9) were chose for this study, while three concentrations of above mentioned pesticide (600, 1200, 1800) ppm were used. 94% and 91% were achieved at pH values 9 and 7 at 35^oC and 600 ppm.
