Fig. 2. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chromatograms for metribuzin and metamitron showing abiotic controls and degradation by Absidia fusca and Botrytis cinerea. (A) metribuzin 1, retention time (RT): 2.99 min; (a) standard (100 mg/L), 1 = 100%; (b) abiotic control, 1 = 98%; (c) Absidia fusca NCS, 1 = 77%, main other peaks RT (min): 0.741.391.752.072.36; (d) Absidia fusca CS, 1 = 8%, main other peaks RT (min): 1.401.912.37; (e) Botrytis cinerea NCS, 1 = 35%, main other peaks RT (min): 1.441.622.092.39; (f) Botrytis cinerea CS, 1 = 75%, main other peaks RT (min): 1.451.752.102.39. (B) metamitron 2, RT: 2.46 min; (a) standard (100 mg/L), 2 = 100%; (b) abiotic control, 2 = 98%; (c) Absidia fusca NCS, 2 = 92%, main other peaks RT (min): 1.381.751.96; (d) Absidia fusca CS, 2 = 84%, main other peaks RT (min): 1.371.712.1. NCS, noncontaminated soil; CS, contaminated soil. Major peaks are underlined, secondary peaks are in italic type
