DDT

The insecticide [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane] was used from 1939 an when its isecticidal properties were discovered. Because of its lipophilic nature DTT accumulated in sediments and the food chain. DDT can be degradet using the DDT Dehydrochlorinase (BBa_K620000) which has been created by [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Caltech Team Caltech 2011].
