The two pollutant types exhibited distinct vertical spatial distributions. Soil bacterial communities were affected primarily by depth, followed by soil texture and pollutant concentration.

Moreover, soil bacterial functions across different depths, textures, and pollutant concentrations showed no significant differences.

Moreover, TM enhanced the activity of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes)—including GH51, AA3, GH16, and AA7—thereby expediting the degradation of cellulose and lignin. This process elevated the levels of fermentable sugars and facilitated the biosynthesis of amino acids, including L-lysine and L-aspartate.

This study employed high-throughput shotgun metagenomics to profile microbial communities and elucidate the functional gene repertoire underlying the potential for in situ lindane degradation in Afelele pond sediment (APS), a tropical lentic waterbody in Nigeria. Sediment analysis revealed a lindane concentration of 8.23 μg g⁻¹ (dry weight), underscoring its environmental persistence. Metagenomic annotation identified all eleven canonical lindane-degradation genes (<em>linA–linJ</em>), with high-confidence sequence homology across diverse bacterial phyla and limited archaeal and fungal lineage representation. Notably, Betaproteobacteria genera such as <em>Rhodoferax</em>, <em>Polaromonas</em>, <em>Malikia</em>, <em>Limnohabitans</em>, and <em>Sphaerotilus</em> encoded ≥8 <em>lin</em> genes, suggesting potential roles as keystone degraders. Gene-specific taxonomic breadth was highest for <em>linB, linC/X, linI,</em> and <em>linJ</em>, indicating widespread functional redundancy. In contrast, <em>linA</em>, initiating dechlorination, showed restricted taxonomic dispersion, implying a potential bottleneck in natural degradation pathways. The presence of <em>lin</em> genes in previously unreported taxa points to dynamic microbial adaptation and possible horizontal gene transfer. This study provides the first comprehensive metagenomic evidence of complete genetic potential for lindane biodegradation in an African freshwater sediment ecosystem.
