TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR assay for detection and discrimination of class I, II, and III tfdA genes in soils treated with phenoxy acid herbicides.
Separate quantification of three classes of tfdA genes was performed using TaqMan quantitative real-time PCR for 13 different soils subsequent to mineralization of three phenoxy acids. Class III tfdA genes were found to be involved in mineralization more often than class I and II tfdA genes.
