Recent microcosm studies at an inactive ordnance works at Weldon Spring, Missouri indicated that the indigenous microorganisms are capable of complete transformation oaf 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) within approximately 22 days. However, the continuing presence of TNT at the Weldon Spring site suggests that some combination of environmental factors is inhibiting microbial degradation at the site. This paper briefly summarizes the results of investigations of the effects of carbon substrate availability, soil moisture content, TNT concentration, and oxygen condition on TNT degradation by the microorganisms indigenous to Weldon Spring.
