Optimizing microbial strain selection for pyrethroid biodegradation in contaminated environments through a TOPSIS-based decision-making system.

ABSTRACT: Improved and contemporary agriculture relies heavily on pesticides, yet some can be quite persistent and have a stable chemical composition, posing a significant threat to the ecology. Removing harmful effects is upon their degradability. Biodegradation must be emphasized to lower pesticide degradation costs, especially in the soil. Here, a decision-making system was used to determine the best microbial strain for the biodegradation of the pyrethroid-contaminated soil. In this system, the criteria chosen as: pH (C₁), Temp (C₂), RPM (C₃), Conc. (C₄), Degradation (%) (C₅) and Time required for degradation(hrs) (C₆); and five alternatives were Bacillus (A₁), Acinetobacter (A₂), Escherichia (A₃),
