AB  - The use of organochlorine pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane 
      (DDT) and benzene hexachloride (BHC), have contributed substantially to the 
      increase and stable supply of food production post-World War II. However, they 
      have also become a major source of pollution on a global scale due to their 
      persistence in the environment, high bioconcentration, toxicity, and their 
      long-distance mobility. Although the use and production of these pesticides were 
      banned over 45 years ago, they still present a risk to human health and 
      ecosystems, and pose a threat to food safety. These pesticides were designated as 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention in 2001, which 
      urged the industry to reduce or eliminate them globally. The authors of this 
      study have been involved in the research and development of bioaugmentation soil 
      remediation technology to reduce the risk of environmental and crop contamination 
      originating from POPs. In this paper, these studies are summarized, from basic 
      studies (1, 2, 3) to an applied study (4), as follows: (1) use of the 
      soil-charcoal perfusion method to explore POP-degrading bacteria, (2) 
      bacteriological characteristics, metabolic pathways and dechlorination genes of 
      the hexaclorobenzene (HCB)-mineralizing bacterial strain PD653, (3) 
      characteristics and metabolic pathways of the dieldrin-degrading bacterial strain 
      KSF27, and (4) application of these degrading bacteria for remediation of 
      POPs-contaminated soil.
