Pathways of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene transformation by aerobic yeasts

Ayrat M. Ziganshin Robin Gerlach

pp. 301-311

Abstract

The production and use of various highly persistent synthetic compounds lead to environmental pollution. Among such compounds, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is the one which is commonly used as an explosive. Synthesis and wide use of TNT in ammunition have resulted in the contamination of soil, air, surface water, and groundwater.
