| Abstract | The microbial biotransformation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) by novel anaerobic microbial consortia enriched from sediments of an industrial effluent channel and the river Ravi in Pakistan was examined. The anaerobic consortia were capable of biotransforming α-, β-, γ-, and δ-HCH through reductive dichloroelimination, resulting in the formation of benzene and monochlorobenzene. Concerning γ-HCH biotransformation by the channel and river cultures, isotopic fractionations for carbon (εC) were − 5.3 ± 0.4 (‰) and − 10.6 ± 1.2 (‰), while isotopic fractionations for chlorine (εCl) were − 4.4 ± 0.4 (‰) and − 7.8 ± 0.9 (‰), respectively. Furthermore, lambda values (Λ), representing the correlation of δ13C and δ37Cl fractionation, were determined to be 1.1 ± 0.1 and 1.3 ± 0.1 for γ-HCH biotransformation, suggesting a reductive dichloroelimination as the initial step of HCH biotransformation in both cultures. Amplicon sequencing targeting the 16S rRNA genes revealed that Desulfomicrobium populations were considerably increased in both cultures, indicating their possible involvement in the degradation process. These findings suggest that Desulfomicrobium-like populations may have an important role in biotransformation of HCH and novel anaerobic HCH-degrading microbial consortia could be useful bioaugmentation agents for the bioremediation of HCH-contaminated sites in Pakistan. |
