Abstract

A Clostridium sp., isolated from flooded soil amended with lindane (γ-BHC), decomposed methoxychlor, γ-BHC and heptachlor in that order under anaerobic condition. During the bacterial degradation of ring-labelled C14-γ-BHC, there was a net loss of radioactivity from the reaction mixture. Release of C14O2 during the degradation of C14-γ-BHC was negligible. Methane was not detected as an end product of γ-BHC breakdown.
