Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The uncontrol use of organophosphate insecticide in agricultural fields to protect crop yields imposes severe environmental issues due to its long persistence in soil and water. For cotton, maize, and sugarcane, monocrotophos is a widely used and effective organophosphate pesticide. To lessen the harm to the environment, biodegradation and detoxification of pesticides need to be developed. In the present study, the polluted site Amlakhadi, Gujarat, India, was explored for the isolation of monocrotophos degrading bacteria. Gordonia terrae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia surfactantfaciens, and a consortium of these three bacteria were chosen for further study on degradation after being tested for their tolerance to monocrotophos. Accelerated degradation by the consortium was confirmed through spectrometry and high performance liquid chromatographic analysis. Trimethyl phosphate and acetamide, N-acetyl N-methyl was generated by the degradation of monocrotophos using consortium culture, confirmed by the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. The production of phosphotriesterase enzyme facilitated the degradation of monocrotophos and the molecular weight of phosphotriesterase was found between a range of 35– 67 kDa. Degraded metabolites were found to be less toxic than undegraded monocrotophos by cytotoxicity and phytotoxicity tests. Along with monocrotophos degradation and detoxification, isolates also exhibited plant growth-promoting traits. Thus, this screening might be helpful to carry out effective in situ degradation of monocrotophos with the consortium-based formulated prototype for the rectification of polluted sites along with plant growth.
