| Research Abstract |
To get insights into the functional evolution of bacteria in the environment, bacteria, which degrade man-made chlorinated pesticide γ-HCH, and dehalogenases, which are key enzymes for the degradation of chlorinated compounds, were analyzed in detail. (1) structure-function relationships of some dehalogenases were revealed and their evolution process was suggested, (2) the process of appearance and evolution of γ-HCH-degrading bacteria was proposed on the basis of the structure and function of their genomes and mobile genetic elements, and (3) the system for verifying evolution process of bacteria in the environment was constructed.
