Stenotrophomonas maltophilia IMV B-7288, Pseudomonas putida IMV B-7289 and Bacillus megaterium IMV B-7287 - new selected destructors of organochlorine pesticide hexachlorocyclohexane.

Microbial destruction of organochlorine pollutants is the one of the most effective approaches, the safest and promising methods for remediation the environment from pollution. This study presents strains of microorganisms that destroy hexachlorocyclohexane: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia IMV B-7288, Pseudomonas putida IMV B-7289 and Bacillus megaterium IMV B-7287-newly selected destructors of organochlorine pesticide hexachlorocyclohexane. Their advantages and features are considered, namely-exclusively of natural origin-microorganisms are isolated from places of total pollution.
