Abstract excerpt
A hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterial strain (RL-3T) was isolated from an HCH dump site located in the northern part of India. Resting cell assays and analytical GC studies confirmed the ability of strain RL-3T to degrade HCH isomers. Southern blot hybridization studies revealed the presence of lin genes, which are involved in the HCH degradation pathway, in this bacterium. The 16S rRNA gene sequence...
