Abstract
Glyphosate is a widely utilized organophosphate herbicide in commercial agriculture, forestry and urban areas. It has usage between 600 - 750 thousand tons, projected to increase to 740 - 920 thousand tons by 2025. Glyphosate is developed by companies such as Syngenta, Bayer, BASF, and Dow Chemical. Due to its efficiency in weed control, it has been used indiscriminately, which has generated concerns about possible environmental and human impacts. Currently, glyphosate degradation is determined by chemical or biological
methods, including photolysis, ozone oxidation or microbial degradation, the latter being a promising method to reduce the levels of this herbicide in soil
