Degradation of cypermethrin (I) and fenvalerate (II) isomers by isolated soil bacteria was examined. Two out of 103 bacterial strains showed little metabolic activity, but the remaining strains all degraded I and II isomers with high substrate specificity. The (1R, trans, aS), (1R, cis, aS)and (15, trans, clS) isomers of I were degraded faster than the other five isomers of I, and the (2R,
