The possibility to improve atrazine degradation in soils by bioaugmentation was studied. The atrazine-mineralizing strain, Chelatobacter heintzii Cit1, was inoculated in four sterile and four non-sterile soils, at varying inoculum densities. Two soils, which had shown enhanced atrazine mineralization, were used to determine which inoculum density was capable of restoring their original mineralizing capacity after sterilization. The two other soils, with intermediate and low capacity to mineralize atrazine, were used in order to demonstrate that atrazine mineralization in such soils could be improved by inoculation. Mineralization kinetics were fitted using the Gompertz model. In the case of soils adapted to atrazine mineralization, inoculation of C. heintzii did not accelerate the rate of atrazine mineralization, which was essentially performed by the indigenous microflora. However, with soils that did not mineralize atrazine, the introduction of 10(4) cfug(-1) resulted in a 3-fold increase of atrazine mineralization capacity.
