Aislamiento e identificación de una cepa de serratia marcescens degradadora de ácido 2,4-diclorofenoxiacético (2,4-d)

2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid has been one of the most globally used herbicides for more than 60 years, with the environmental impact that this implies. In this work, a strain capable of degrading the herbicide and with potential to be employed in bioenrichment processes of impacted sites by this pollutant was isolated. 16s rRNA gene sequencing allowed identification of the genus and species of the bacterial strain. This is the first report of isolation in Mexico of a strain of Serratia marcescens with this capability.
