The growth of a gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH)-degrading bacterium Sphingobium japonicum (formerly Sphingomonas paucimobilis) UT26 in rich medium was inhibited by gamma-HCH. This growth inhibition was not observed in a mutant that lacked the initial or second step enzymatic activity for gamma-HCH degradation, suggesting that metabolites of gamma-HCH are toxic to UT26. Two metabolites of gamma-HCH, 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) and 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone (2,5-DCHQ), showed a direct toxic effect on UT26 and other sphingomonad strains. Because only 2,5-DCP accumulated during gamma-HCH degradation, 2,5-DCP is thought to be a main compound for growth inhibition.
