Abstract：
:A systematic evaluation of the ability of different bacterial genera to transform 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and grow in its presence, was conducted. Aerobic Gram-negative organisms degraded TNT and evidenced net consumption of reduced metabolites when cultured in molasses medium. Some Gram-negative isolates transformed all the initial TNT to undetectable metabolites, with no adsorption of TNT or metabolites to cells. Growth and TNT transformation capacity of Gram-positive bacteria both exhibited 50% reductions in the presence of approximately 10 microg TNT ml-1. Most non-sporeforming Gram-positive organisms incubated in molasses media amended with 80 microg TNT ml-1 became unculturable, whereas all strains tested remained culturable when incubated in mineral media amended with 98 microg TNT ml-1, indicating that TNT sensitivity is linked to metabolic activity. These results indicate that the microbial ecology of soil may be severely impacted by TNT contamination.
