From: Comparative genomic analysis of nine Sphingobium strains: insights into their evolution and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) degradation pathways

Figure 1

Degradation of α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ϵ-HCH mediated by lin Pathway in Sphingobium spp. Each color that encircles a specific lin gene depicts that the pathway is blocked within these Sphingobium strains. The compounds that are formed during HCH degradation are broadly known as PCCH: pentachlorocyclohexane, PCHL: pentachlorocyclohexanol, TCDN: tetrachloro-1,4-cyclohexadiene, DNOL: trichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-ol, DDOL: dichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-diol, TCDL: tetrachlorocyclohexanediol, DCHQ: dichlorohydroquinone, CHQ: chlorohydroquinone, HQ: hydroquinone. Green dots represent spontaneous reaction.
