Malathion biodegradation and biotransformation in water and sediment systems: bacterial pathways, environmental drivers, ecological impacts, and bioremediation strategies
Malathion is one of the most widely used organophosphate insecticides, and its environmental fate is strongly influenced by microbial transformation in the water column and sediments. This review synthesizes current knowledge of the enzymatic and metabolic pathways that govern the persistence of malathion in aquatic, s...
