Top-down/bottom-up consortia achieve robust γ-HCH degradation and reduced methanogenic contribution in wetlands [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyGeneralist non-obligate organochlorine-degrading bacteria (ODB) play an important role in the bioremediation of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), yet their ecological roles and functional mechanisms remain underexplored.

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.
