| Abstract: | Sphingomonas paucimobilis degrades aerobically  ,  ,  and  -hexachlorocyclohexane. With -HCH, complete degradation occurred after 3 days but with and , and with -HCH, 98 and 56 % degradation occurred after 12 and 8 days of incubation, respectively. Pentachlorocyclohexene was formed as the primary metabolite during the degradation of all the HCH isomers. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 |
