Isomerization and biodegradation of beta-cypermethrin by Pseudomonas aeruginosa CH7 with biosurfactant production.
TLDR
Pseudomonas aeruginosa CH7, isolated from activated sludge, was able not only to isomerize and degrade beta-cypermethrin but also to utilize it as the sole source of carbon and energy for growth and produce biosurfactant, suggesting that this strain may serve as a promising strain in the bioremediation of wastewater and soil polluted by beta-ymethrin.About:

Enantioselectivity in environmental safety of current chiral insecticides
TL;DR: Dramatic differences between enantiomers were observed in their acute toxicity to the freshwater invertebrates Ceriodaphnia dubia and Daphnia magna, suggesting that the aquatic toxicity is primarily attributable to a specific enantiomer in the racemate.
