Modeling and simulation of atrazine biodegradation in bacteria and its effect in other living systems

Atrazine is the most commonly used herbicide worldwide in the agricultural system. The increased environmental concentration of the atrazine showed the toxic effects on the non-target living species. Biodegradation of the atrazine is possible with the bacterial systems. The present study investigate...

Description
Summary:Atrazine is the most commonly used herbicide worldwide in the agricultural system. The increased environmental concentration of the atrazine showed the toxic effects on the non-target living species. Biodegradation of the atrazine is possible with the bacterial systems. The present study investigated biodegradation potential of atrazine degrading bacteria and the impact of atrazine on environmental systems. Model of atrazine fate in ecological systems constructed using the cell designer. The used model further analyzed and simulated to know the biochemistry and physiology of the atrazine in different cellular networks. Topological analysis of the atrazine degradation confirmed the 289 nodes and 300 edges. Our results showed that the overall biomagnification of the atrazine in the different environmental systems. Atrazine is showing toxic effects on humans and plants, whereas degraded by the bacterial systems. To date, no one has analyzed the complete degradation and poisonous effects of the atrazine in the environment. Therefore, this study is useful for overall system biology based modeling and simulation analysis of atrazine in living systems. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
