title: [Characterization and in situ monitoring of atrazine-transforming bacteria].
abstract: The possible application of the in situ hybridization method to detect the soil microflora able to transform the herbicide atrazine was investigated. Digoxigenin-labeled probes were shown to provide sufficient resolution when used either for hybridization on colonies or for in situ detection of bacteria in soil.
