Stereospecific effect of hexachlorocyclohexane on activity and structure of soil methanotrophic communities.

Environmental microbiology - 1 May 2005

Mertens Birgit, Boon Nico, Verstraete Willy

Abstract excerpt

In the past decades, large amounts of non-insecticidal hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (alpha-, beta-, delta- and epsilon-HCH) have been dumped as side-products of the insecticide gamma-HCH (lindane). This study investigates the effect of HCH isomers on methane oxidation, an important soil function performed by methanotrophic bacteria. Both activity and structure of the methanotrophic community were assessed,...
