Insights on Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 Responses to HCH Isomers: Tolerance, Degradation, and Dynamics on Potential lin Genes Expression [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpenHexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) was extensively used as a pesticide until the 1990s. It was synthesized by benzene photochlorination, resulting in a mixture of stereoisomers, which included α‐, β‐, γ‐, and δ‐HCH, among others.
