Abstract	The influence of moisture on the survival, movement anddegradation activity of a 2,4-D degrading bacterium,Burkholderia cepacia strain BRI6001L, geneticallyengineered to contain bioluminescent and lactoseutilization genes, was studied in unsaturated soil columns.The distance traveled by BRI6001L was dependent on theclay content of the soil, higher clay contents beingresponsible for higher filtration coefficients. Long termsurvival, in excess of one year, was attributed to strainBRI6001L's ability to survive dry conditions. Changes inthe 2,4-D biodegradation rate showed a better correlationwith the BRI6001L population density than with the totalviable bacterial population. At moisture levels betweenfield capacity and 40% moisture (− 33 kPa to −100 kPa)2,4-D degradation was attributed mainly to BRI6001L. Atmoisture levels between 6 and 15%, 2,4-D disappearancewas attributed to the indigenous microbial population,with no degradation occurring at moisture levels below6%. Returning the moisture to above 40% led to anincrease of 4 orders of magnitude in the BRI6001Lpopulation density and to a 10-fold increase in the 2,4-Ddegradation rate. The ability to monitor a specificmicrobial population using reporter genes hasdemonstrated the importance of controlling moisturelevels for maximizing biodegradation rates in unsaturatedsoil environments.
