Isolation and characterization of Endosulfan degrading bacteria from the gut of earthworm
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Endosulfan is a neurotoxic organochlorine insecticide, which is used worldwide for pest control and its residues have been remained for long periods in soil, water bodies and agricultural products. Objective: The aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize a bacterium from the earthworm gut which can degrade endosulfan without producing any toxic metabolites like endosulfan sulphate. Methods: Endosulfan was used as a carbon source by the bacteria and degraded it up to 90% within 15 days. The bacteria grew well in minimal medium with high concentrations of endosulfan (80μg/ml). Results: Almost complete degradation of the endosulfan insecticide was indicated by an increase in chloride ion in the growth medium. This strain was able to survive well at 45oC and exhibited its capability for degradation of the pesticide. Conclusion: The results suggest that the isolated strain is valuable for bioremediation of endosulfan-contaminated soil and water bodies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
