The lin Genes for γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane Degradation in Sphingomonas sp. MM-1 Proved to Be Dispersed across Multiple Plasmids
A γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterium, Sphingomonas sp. MM-1, was isolated from soil contaminated with HCH isomers. Cultivation of MM-1 in the presence of γ-HCH led to the detection of… Expand
