The influence of glucose on simazine decomposition.
Glucose added to soil and to the culture medium of Penicillium citrinum stimulated simazine decomposition. Differences in the rate of simazine decomposition depended on the dose of glucose. Both in soil and in the medium the rate of simazine decomposition was connected with the intensity of development of microorganisms.
