Appl Environ Microbiol. 1977 June; 33(6): 1295-1297
ABSTRACT
Washed cell suspensions of Clostridium sphenoides degraded the alpha-isomer of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane via delta-3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1-cyclohexene and the gamma-isomer via gamma-3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1-cyclohexene. Both intermediates were further metabolized to unknown substances. The tetrachlorocyclohexene intermediates were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
