Extracellular Electron Shuttle Mediated Biodegradation of Hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-Triazine

Bioremediation is one suggested technology for hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), as well as alternate explosive contaminants. The potential use of extracellular electron shuttling compounds to mediate electron transfer between iron (hydr)oxides and Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms was investigated for decontaminating RDX. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop an optimal strategy for the biodegradation of nitramine explosive compounds.
