“…(Boopathy, 1994;Boopathy & Kulpa, 1994), Desulfovibrio sp. (Boopathy & Kulpa, anaerobic systems have been used for remediation of TNT and other polynitroaromatic compounds, including static pile and windrow composting, bioslurry, and phytoremediation (Funk et al, 1993;Smets et al, 1999;Hawari et al, 2000a;Peres & Agathos, 2000;Rodgers & Bunce, 2001;Zhang et al, 2001;Lewis et al, 2004;Schrader & Hess, 2004). Transgenic plants bearing bacterial nitroreductase genes, or combined treatments with both plants and microorganisms able to degrade nitroaromatic compounds, are expected to be used as efficient decontaminating procedures in the near future (French et al, 1999;Hannink et al, 2001Hannink et al, , 2002Kurumata et al, 2005).…”
