Organochlorine Pesticide Residues in the Processing of Pressed Cheese
Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Food Science and Technology, 2015 The persistence of pesticide residues in food and environment determined UN institutions to track their presence and establish rules of tolerance in foodstuffs of animal origin. Pesticide use leads to their presence as residue in foods.

Crystal structure of the hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinase (LinA-type2): mutational analysis, thermostability and enantioselectivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinase (LinA) mediates dehydrochlorination of γ-HCH to 1, 3, 4, 6-tetrachloro-1,4-cyclohexadiene that constitutes first step of the aerobic degradation pathway. We report the 3.5 Å crystal structure of a thermostable LinA-

Kinetic and sequence-structure-function analysis of known LinA variants with different hexachlorocyclohexane isomers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Here we report specific activities of all seven naturally occurring LinA variants towards three different isomers, α, γ and δ, of a priority persistent pollutant, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH).

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.

Comparative metagenomic analysis of soil microbial communities across three hexachlorocyclohexane contamination levels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 This paper presents the characterization of the microbial community responsible for the in-situ bioremediation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). Microbial community structure and function was analyzed using 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic ...

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.

Greater cognitive decline with aging among elders with high serum concentrations of organochlorine pesticides. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although cognitive decline is very common in elders, age-related cognitive decline substantially differs among elders and the determinants of the differences in age-related cognitive decline are unclear.
