Biodegradation Pathways of Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH): A Case Study
摘要
Lindane is the γ-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane, used extensively in modern agriculture. It enters into the food chain and adversely impacts various life forms. The pesent paper discusses the nature's microbial remediation mechanism of transforming toxic substances into non-toxic metabolites which helps in biodegradation pathways, and possibilities of wasteland reclamation.
