Bioremediation of halogenated compounds: comparison of dehalogenating bacteria and improvement of catalyst stability [PDF]

, 2006
Five bacterial strains were compared for halogenated compounds conversion in aqueous media. Depending on the strain, the optimal temperature for dehalogenase activity of resting cells varied from 30 to 45 degrees C, while optimal pH raised from 8.4 to 9 ...

In vitro effects of the organochlorine pesticide β-hexachlorocyclohexane on bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2014
The β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) is a very stable and accumulable isomer of Lindane, a well known organochlorine pesticide. The HCHs were banned in all developed countries but to date high concern still exists for environment, animal and human health ...

Chirality of pollutants—effects on metabolism and fate [PDF]

, 2018
In most cases, enantiomers of chiral compounds behave differently in biochemical processes. Therefore, the effects and the environmental fate of the enantiomers of chiral pollutants need to be investigated separately.

Anaerobic formation of α-hexachlorocyclohexane from γ-hexachlorocyclohexane in soil and by Escherichia coli

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 1979
In two soil types small amounts of ??-hexachlorocyclohexane were formed from ??-hexachlorocyclohexane under submerged conditions, but not under aerobic conditions. In the submerged soils ??-tetrachlorocyclohexene was detected as a major metabolite of ??-hexachlorocyclohexane, whereas aerobic soil incubation yielded ??-pentachlorocyclohexene.
