UNDERSTANDING PESTICIDE DEGRADING-MICROBE COMMUNITY USING MOLECULAR APPROACHESAKEN PUTI WANGUYUN AND ALMANDO GERALDIAbstract The rising rate of pesticides contamination has become a serious global concern. One of the most attractive strategies to manage pesticide contamination is by using microorganisms which show capability to degrade pesticides through their metabolic pathways. To optimally utilize the pesticide-degrading microorganisms, a comprehensive study needs to be conducted. Advances in molecular biology have enabled the development of powerful techniques for conducting isolation of new species of pesticide-degrading microbes, analyzing their pesticide-degrading pathways, and studying the interaction between those microbes and their environment. In this review article, we highlight recent advances technologies in the field of microbial ecology for analyzing microbial communities related to pesticides bio degradation in the environment. Combination between various molecular techniques in microbial community analysis are beneficial to increase the understanding of microbial community behavior in different ecosystems.
