The same reduced products are present in the urine excreted by rabbits, rats, or human volunteers fed with TNT [41]. TNT is also degraded by different fungi [42,43]. Rhizopus stolonifer was able to degrade almost all TNT, when present in cultural broth at a concentration of 100 mg/1 [42], and extensive biodegradation of [ C]-TNT by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was also observed [44]. Biodegradation of [ C]-TNT occurs even in a mixture of soil and corncobs...
