The nitroaromatic explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a highly toxic and persistent environmental pollutant. Since physicochemical methods for remediation are poorly effective, the use of microorganisms has gained interest as an alternative to restore TNT-contaminated sites. We previously demonstrated high TNT-transforming capability three novel Pseudomonas spp. isolated from Deception Island, Antarctica, which exceeded that well-characterized TNT-degrading bacterium putida KT2440. In...
The nitro-explosive compounds 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, and 1,2,3-trinitroglycerol are persistent environmental contaminants. presence of different functional groups in these molecules represents a great challenge to enzymatic catalysis. chemical variety three substrates is such that they do not bind interact with catalytic residues within an enzyme the same affinity. In this context, two Xenobiotic Reductase enzymes produced by bacteria Pseudomonas putida can catalyze...
