Microbial transformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and other nitroaromatic compounds.

abstract：:In Vibrio vulnificus, virulence for eels is associated with serovar E strains. In this study, we investigated some biological properties of purified lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from serovar E and non-serovar E strains. Purified LPSs retained their O-polysaccharidic side chains and did not show any differences that coul...
