The Molecular Biology of Nitroamine Degradation in Soils

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1031205 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Molecular characterization of microbial communities in soils with RDX degradation, determination of RDX metabolites and metabolic pathways, determine the diversity of xplA in the environment and possible evolutionary origin, determine the mechanism of horizontal gene transfer of xplA, investigate the regulation and transcription of xplAB, and discover new bacteria capable of degrading RDX and determine the enzymes involved.
