Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To isolate gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH)-degrading bacteria from a single field and to examine their genetic diversity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Gamma-HCH-degrading bacteria were screened from a long-term experimental field in which gamma-HCH has been continuously applied to, and a gamma-HCH-degrading sphingomonad strain SS86 was isolated from in 1986. As the result, five strains of sphingomonads were...
