Resumen:
One of the main herbicides used in the agricultural environments is 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). It is a synthetic plant hormone auxin employed in many crops including rice, wheat, sorghum, sugar cane, and corn to control wide leaf weeds. The indiscriminate use of pesticides can produce numerous damages to the environment. Therefore, this review has the objective to provide an overview on the main characteristics of the herbicides based on 2,4-D, mostly on the role of microorganisms in its degradation and its main degradation metabolite, 2,4- dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). The remediation processes carried out by microorganisms are advantageous to avoid the pollution of the environment as well as to safeguard the population health.
