title: 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.
abstract: 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.
