This study aimed to evaluate the growth, respiratory activity, and biodegradation of chlorpyrifos in cultures of  Azotobacter vinelandii  ATCC 12837. A strategy based on the modification of culture media and aeration conditions was carried out to increase the cell concentration of  A. vinelandii , in order to favor and determine its tolerance to chlorpyrifos and its degradation ability. The culture in shaken flasks, using sucrose as a carbon source, significantly improved the growth compared to media with mannitol. When the strain was cultivated under oxygen-limited (5.5, 11.25 mmol L −1  h −1 ) and no-oxygen-limited conditions (22 mmol L −1  h −1 ), the growth parameters were not affected. In cultures in a liquid medium with chlorpyrifos, the bacteria tolerated a high pesticide concentration (500 ppm) and the growth parameters were improved even under conditions with a reduced carbon source (sucrose 2 g L −1 ). The strain degraded 99.6% of chlorpyrifos at 60 h of cultivation, in co-metabolism with sucrose; notably,  A. vinelandii  ATCC 12837 reduced by 50% the initial pesticide concentration in only 6 h (DT 50 ).
