Popis: Algae, protozoa and photosynthetic bacteria which occur in considerable number in wet soils were examined for their ability to degrade the fungicides in broth culture. Blue green algae, namely, species of Anabaena, Nostoc and Tolypothrix brought about extensive degradation of the fungicides as revealed by thin layer chromatography. Green alga,Chlorella vulgaris also degraded the fungicides. The photosynthetic bacteriumRhodospirillum sp., failed to degrade carboxin beyond sulphoxide stage but degraded oxycarboxin to a greater extent. A protozoan species, Colpoda on the other hand, brought about extensive degradation of carboxin but not of oxycarboxin. These organisms have not been examined before for the detoxification of either carboxin or oxycarboxin.
