Metabolism of polychlorinated norbornenes by Clostridium butyricum.

1972

STUDIES of the metabolism of cyclodien-insecticides, such as dieldrin, endrin, endosulphan, have revealed valuable information about their fate in the ecosystem1. With all metabolites identified so far, however, the hexachlorinated norbornene moiety remains unchanged2,3. Only from photodieldrin, a cage-like derivative of dieldrin, have dechlorinated metabolites been reported4,5.
