A bacterium capable of metabolizing endosulfan (6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepine3-oxide) was isolated from cotton-growing soil and effectively shown to degrade endosulfan into endosulfan sulfate. The bacterium degraded 50% of the compound within 3 days of incubation. Endosulfan sulfate was the only terminal product and no other metabolites were formed during the incubation. Endosulfan and its metabolites were analyzed by gas chromatography…

Enrichment and isolation of endosulfan-degrading microorganism from tropical acid soil
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that this novel strain is a valuable source of potent endosulfan–degrading enzymes for use in enzymatic bioremediation.
Bioremediation Of Endosulfan By Bacteria Isolated From The Agricultural Fields
TLDR
Endosulfan degrading capability of four bacterial monocultures and two bacterial mixed-cultures was investigated in terms of treatment duration and culture volume, using soil slurry medium and JCE-4 was found to be most efficient.
Kinetics of Endosulfan Biodegradation by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia EN-1 Isolated From Pesticide-Contaminated Soil
TLDR
In the present study, endosulfan degrading bacterium was isolated from the agriculture-contaminated soil of Shujaabad, Multan, Pakistan by using enrichment technique and GC-MS analysis revealed that the bacterium metabolised the endOSulfan into non-toxic metabolite i.e. endosolfan diol.
Biodegradation of endosulfan by bacteria isolated from soil
TLDR
The results suggest that these novel strains could be used as potent agents for biodegradation of endosulfan pesticides.
Biodegradation of α and β endosulfan in broth medium and soil microcosm by bacterial strain Bordetella sp. B9
TLDR
This bacterial strain, which utilized endosulfan and showed maximum growth, was selected for detail studies and has a potential to be used for bioremediation of the contaminated sites.
ISOLATION AND SCREENING OF ENDOSULFAN- DEGRADING FUNGI FROM SOIL
TLDR
Results indicated that P601 grown in the NM-SSS exhibited the highest endosulfan degradation after 14 d, and was identified as Candida tropicalis using the API C AUX yeast identification system.
Halophilic bacterium JAS4 in biomineralisation of endosulfan and its metabolites isolated from Gossypium herbaceum rhizosphere soil
Isolation and characterization of endosulfan-degrading bacteria from contaminated agriculture soils
TLDR
Biodegradation of endosulfan through biological means is receiving serious attention as compared to existing methods such as incineration and landfill, and contamination is frequently found in the environment at considerable distance from the point of application.

Enrichment of an Endosulfan-Degrading Mixed Bacterial Culture
TLDR
The results suggest that this mixed culture is worth investigating as a source of endosulfan-hydrolyzing enzymes for use in enzymatic bioremediation of endOSulfan residues.
Degradation of organochlorine pesticides, particularly endosulfan, by Trichoderma harzianum
TLDR
Using a cell-free preparation from Trichoderma harzianum, it is demonstrated that endosulfan metabolism in vitro was stimulated by exogenously added NADPH, and the evidence that the initial metabolic product of endOSulfan was endos sulfuran sulfate is concluded.
Degradation of endosulfan-8,9-14C in soil under different conditions
TLDR
The metabolism of this compound by soil microorganisms has become of interest and Endodiol was found to be the main metabolite.
Metabolic pathways utilized by Phanerochaete chrysosporium for degradation of the cyclodiene pesticide endosulfan
TLDR
It is concluded that metabolism of this compound does not involve the action of extracellular peroxidases, and it is suggested that the metabolism of endosulfan is mediated by two divergent pathways, one hydrolytic and the other oxidative.
Degradation of Pesticides in the Environment by Microorganisms and Sunlight
It may be generalized that pesticide contamination problems in the environment are directly related to their persistent nature, the most important factor determining the degree of persistence being…
