Abstract Three bacterial strains were isolated from soils adapted to iprodione and identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas sp. and Pseudomonas paucimobilis. The first two strains transformed iprodione to N-(3, 5-dichlorophenyl)-2, 4-dioxoimidazolidine (II) and under restrictive conditions to 3, 5-dichlorophenylurea acetic acid (III); the latter subsequently degraded II to III and III to 3, 5-dichloroaniline (3, 5-D). We constructed ...
