Abstract
Recent investigations indicate that 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is rapidly transformed in an aquatic environment by the action of photosynthetic organisms. Several plant species from a variety of culture conditions were examined that displayed the capacity to transform TNT. The kinetics of transformation and the fate of transformation products were monitored by MECE and HPLC analysis in both the aquatic media and within the plant tissues. (U)
