Notes: We studied the degradation of chlorpyriphos and polyethylene by Citrus mealybug (Planococcus citri)) bacterial endosymbionts such as Bacillus licheniformis, Pseudomonas cereus, Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis. This investigation revealed that bacterial endosymbionts use the polythene as a source of carbon and solubilize them by their enzymatic machinery
