Disclosed are microbial cells useful for degrading insecticides and chlorinated organics and for the production of a protein which degrades insecticides and chlorinated organics, which microbial cells contain and express a heterologous DNA molecule encoding an insect detoxication protein (e.g., an esterase, a cytochrome p450, a glutathione transferase). Preferably, the host cell is a bacteria which grows in soil (e.g., is from the genera Pseudomonas or Bacillus). Methods of using the cells and proteins and compositions thereof are also disclosed.
