Hexachlorocyclohexane as an Insecticide [PDF]
Nature, 1945 MR. E. L. TAYLOR has given1 an account of work on the acaricidal properties of a 'new' insecticide of the general formula C6H6Cl6 (hexachlorocyclohexane). This substance has been available in France for some years under the trade name of 'Aphtiria'. It would appear that a patent covering the method of preparation was taken out in France by M.

Important amino acid residues of hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinases (LinA) for enantioselective transformation of hexachlorocyclohexane isomers [PDF]
Biodegradation, 2017 LinA-type1 and LinA-type2 are two well-characterized variants of the enzyme 'hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-dehydrochlorinase'. They differ from each other at ten amino acid positions and exhibit differing enantioselectivity for the transformation of the (-) and (+) enantiomers of α-HCH.

Metabolic synergies in the biotransformation of organic and metallic toxic compounds by a saprotrophic soil fungus [PDF]
, 2018 The saprotrophic fungus Penicillium griseofulvum was chosen as model organism to study responses to a mixture of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, δ-HCH) and of potentially toxic metals (vanadium, lead) in solid and liquid media ...
