Rumen Fluid for its Ability to Bioremediate Trinitrotoluene (TNT) Under Anaerobic Conditions Abstract
Biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by ruminal organisms

Creator:

De Lorme, Marthah J. M.

Abstract:

2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the common munitions used in the world and is an environmental contaminant that is amendable to reductive transformation reactions. The rumen is an extremely reductive environment containing diverse microbial populations. There are 21 pure culture ruminal bacteria species in culture collection, these were tested for the...

Anaerobic biodegradation of the cyclic nitramines, RDX and HMX, by ovine ruminal microbes

Creator:

Eaton, Hillary L.

Abstract:

Cyclic nitramines released into all environmental compartments through anthropogenic activities are toxic and possibly carcinogenic and mutagenic. Soils on military ranges, located throughout the world in various climatic regions and close to human activities, are especially susceptible to cyclic nitramine contamination. The properties of soils on military ranges will directly...
