TLDR
It is demonstrated that the high-rate removal of NTO in contaminated water can be attained in a continuous-flow aerated bioreactor and that the plausible hypothesis for these findings is that NTO reduction occurred in anaerobic zones of the biofilm whereas ATO was mineralized in the bulk aerobic zone of the reactor.About:

Enhanced biodegradation of aromatic pollutants in cocultures of anaerobic and aerobic bacterial consortia
TL;DR: Aside from mineralization, polyhydroxylated and chlorinated phenols as well as nitroaromatics and aromatic amines are susceptible to polymerization in aerobic environments and an alternative approach for bioremediation systems can be directed towards incorporating these aromatic pollutants into detoxified humic-like substances.
