<em>Soil.</em> In soils, the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae degraded fensulfothion to fensulfothion sul?de (Timms and MacRae, 1982, 1983). The following microorganisms were also capable of degrading the parent compound to the corresponding sul?de: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas ?uorescens, Nocardia opaca, Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Timms and MacRae, 1983).<br /><em>Plant.</em> Readily oxidized in plants to the corresponding sulfone (Hartley and Kidd, 1987).<br /><em>Chemical/Physical.</em> Emits toxic fumes of phosphorus and sulfur oxides when heated to decomposition (Sax and Lewis, 1987; Lewis, 1990).<br />Isomerizes readily to the O,S-diethyl isomer (Worthing and Hance, 1991). The hydrolysis half-lives of fensulfothion in a sterile 1% ethanol/water solution at 25°C and pH values of 4.5, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0, were 69, 77, 87 and 58 weeks, respectively (Chapman and Cole, 1982).
