Previous Studies on degradation of roundup shows that roundup (glyphosate) is degraded in soil by bacteria which can use glyphosate as the sole nitrogen source.
N-methyla minomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) has been detected in some soils as the only significant metabolite (Lerbs, 1990).
Complete degradation goes through glycine and sarcosine with an oxidation of the phosphonate to phosphate (Figure 13) (Kishore and Jacob, 1987).
