| Abstract: | Bacterial strain Bacillus sp. VT-8 was shown to use trinitrotoluene (TNT) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy, as well as to carry out its co-oxidation. Resistance of Bacillus sp. VT-8 to high TNT concentrations was shown. Efficient detoxification of TNT-contaminated soil and water samples was demonstrated. This strain may be recommended for TNT biodegradation at concentrations of up to 140 mg/L due to its high degradation activity and the absence of toxic effect of TNT on Bacillus sp. VT-8. |
