Description
Summary:Degradation products of lindane in an organic soil and in a mineral soil are identified under aerobic and submerged conditions. As expected microflora of organic and mineral soils seem to follow similar pathways for degrading lindane. However, the amount and variety of metabolites present at any stage may be different in the two types of soils. The suggestion that lindane metabolism in soil is as complex as in animals, insects, and plants is supported.
