PG - 121389 LID - S0043-1354(24)00291-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121389 [doi] AB - Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with high toxicity, lipid solubility, chemical stability. Despite the current ban on usage of Lindane, residual contamination cannot be ignored, and HCH are frequently detected in groundwater and threaten human health. Cultures capable of degrading alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, and delta-HCH individually have been enriched in anoxic aqueous conditions. Compound-Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA) was applied to examine the transformation mechanisms of different HCH isomers by the four enrichment cultures. 16S rRNA sequencing techniques were employed to examine the community composition of the enrichment cultures and detect changes in these communities resulting from adding individual HCH isomers. The results indicated that the ability of the enrichment cultures for dichloroelimination of HCH isomers was inconsistent. During dichloroelimination, different bond cleavage mode of beta- and delta-HCH led to distinct isotopic effects. HCH isomers had significant impact on the microbial community, while different microbial communities showed comparable isotopic effects during the transformation of a specific HCH isomer. In addition, bacteria in the phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were proposed as the dominant dechlorinators. This study provides a novel perspective on the mode of bond cleavage during HCH dichloroelimination and the effect of HCH on microbial communities, which could potentially support the evaluation of HCH transformation by CSIA and their effects on the microecosystems of groundwater.
