Cyclic nitramines are a class of compounds that include most of the commonly used explosives today. These are among the most common toxicants released into the environment as a result of human activity, generated on military ranges, battlefields, and production sites. Of these, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) is of particular interest,...
Bacteria found in clarified ovine rumen fluid are capable of degradation of high-energy explosives such as RDX (Hexahydro-1,3,-trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine) and HMX (Octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7-tetrazocine).
