novel pathway for the biodegradation of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane by a Xanthomonas sp. strain ICH12

To isolate γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacteria from contaminated soil and characterize the metabolites formed and the genes involved in the degradation pathway. A bacterial strain Xanthomonas sp. ICH12, capable of biodegrading γ- HCH was isolated from HCH-contaminated soil. DNA-colony h...
