DDT is a persistent pesticide that was banned in most countries due to its significant environmental and human health hazards. Bioremediation has the potential for in-situ treatment of DDT contaminated sediment and soils. With the right microorganisms and conditions, DDT and its primary metabolites, DDD and DDE can be degraded into 4-chlorobenzoic acid or 4,4- dichlorobenzophenone under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively.
