Isolation of a novel thermostable dehydrochlorinase (LinA) from a soil metagenome

Hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinase (LinA) mediates first step of aerobic degradation of a chlorinated insecticide γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH). In this study, we describe characterization of a novel variant (LinA-type2) that is distinct from reported LinAs and is substantially more thermosta...
