Biotransformation of TNT has been reported under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Actinomycetes are important decomposers in composts. This study examines the tolerance of acitomycete cultures, isolated from both TNT-contaminated and uncontaminated environments for different concentrations to TNT, determined how selected isolates transform TNT, and examined whether such TNT transformations were constitutive or induced by exposure to TNT. 33 refs., 1 figs., 1 tab.
