Aerobic biodegradation of high explosive hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine by Janibacter cremeus isolated from contaminated soil.
CONCLUSION: J. cremeus could degrade RDX as sole source of nitrogen, via three different pathways wherein, Nitroreductase enzyme was found to play a major role. The efficient degradation of RDX makes J. cremeus suitable in treatment of contaminated water and soil at field scale levels.
