Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial degradation of explosives: biotransformation versus mineralization.
TL;DR: Despite more than two decades of intensive research to biodegrade TNT, no biomineralization-based technologies have been successful to date and research aimed at the discovery of new microorganisms and enzymes capable of mineralizing energetic chemicals and/or enhancing irreversible binding of their products to soil is presently receiving considerable attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of Variable-Chain-Length Alkanes at Low Temperatures by a Psychrotrophic Rhodococcus sp.
TL;DR: Rhodococcus sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-2,2,3-dinitroso-5-nitro- 1, 3, 5-triazine in liquid cultures with municipal anaerobic sludge showed that at least two degradation routes were involved in the disappearance of the cyclic nitramine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of herbaceous lignins for applications in biomaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, organosolv lignins were extracted from wheat, triticale, corn, flax, and hemp residues using microwave irradiation under similar conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkaline Hydrolysis of the Cyclic Nitramine Explosives RDX, HMX, and CL-20: New Insights into Degradation Pathways Obtained by the Observation of Novel Intermediates
TL;DR: The results provide strong evidence that initial denitration of cyclic nitramines in water is sufficient to cause ring cleavage followed by spontaneous decomposition to form the final products.
