Over the past two decades, various eco-friendly approaches utilizing microbial species to
clean up contaminated environments have surfaced. In this aspect, actinobacteria have …

The environmental impacts of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an increasingly
prominent topic in the scientific community. POPs are stable chemicals that are accumulated …

Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane) is an organochlorine pesticide that has been widely
used in agriculture over the last seven decades. The increasing residues of lindane in soil …

Despite a ban on the production and use of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) after 1983,
serious OCP pollution still exists in the soil in certain areas of China because OCPs degrade …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemicals which have been persisting in the
environment for many years due to their longer half-lives. POPs have gained attention over …

This review elucidates different bioremediation approaches used for degradation of HCH
from contaminated sites. It highlights the significance of degradative pathways, microbial …

Although the use of organochlorine pesticides (OPs) is restricted or banned in most
countries, they continue posing environmental and health concerns, so it is imperative to …

This review describes the biodegradation of Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane, γ-HCH)
from the diverse sources. Environmental degradation of γ-HCH has been described in terms …

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical
parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr (VI) at high and/or low …

In this study, the lindane degrading bacterial isolate Mz-13i was isolated using the
enrichment culture technique. The isolate was found positive for HCH utilization when …
