Nitramine explosives, RDX and HMX, are used by the military in high-yield munitions. Manufacture and testing have resulted in contaminated soils and bioremediate has been proposed as a safe and cost-effective means of cleanup. Biodegradation under aerobic conditions has not been successful. However, biodegradation of both RDX and HMX has been reported under anaerobic conditions. In this report, the authors describe the isolation and identification of three individual members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, each of which degrades RDX in pure culture. 20 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
