Microbial Transformation of Chlordecone and Two Transformation Products Formed During in situ Chemical Reduction

Abstract : Biotransformation of CLD and ISCR Transformation Products and Soehngenia). On the other hand, in the-3Cl-CLD condition, although the same OTU were found, Clostridium sensu stricto 7, Candidatus Cloacimonas, and Proteiniphilum were also present at > 2% sequences. Presence of methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria could contribute to sulfidation and S-methylation biotransformations. Overall, these results contribute to increasing our knowledge on the biodegradability of CLD and its transformation products, helping to progress toward effective remediation solutions.
