The herbicide Paraquat was found to cause mutations in nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria and reduce chlorophyll content of algae [6, 7]. DDT and its metabolites DDE and DDD (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane) are widespread soil pollutants that alter the species composition of soil algae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria and entirely eliminate some species of these [8], The pesticides hexaconazole, carbofuran, and elhion are toxic to soil microflora and result in the reduction of soil bacteria counts [9].
