Biodegradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by white-rot fungus

摘要

There is provided a process for biodegradation of TNT (2,4,6- Trinitrotoluene) wherein the biodegradation is done utilizing the fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain BKM F-1767, wherein waste containing TNT is treated with the fungus under predetermined conditioning and for a time period sufficient for biodegradation to occur rendering the waste ecologically acceptable to the environment.
