Degradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by P. aeruginosa and characterization of some metabolites

Degradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by P. aeruginosa and characterization of some metabolites

Degradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a nitroaromatic explosive found in the soil and ground water, was investigated using Pseudomonas aeruginosa in in vitroexperiments. Biodegradable abilitiy of this bacteria was performed with 50 and 75 mg L−1 TNT concentrations in a defined liquid medium fo...
