Microbial Degradation of Aldrin and Dieldrin: Mechanisms and Biochemical Pathways
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 As members of the organochlorine group of insecticides, aldrin and dieldrin are effective at protecting agriculture from insect pests. However, because of excessive use and a long half-life, they have contributed to the major pollution of the water/soil ...
