ABSTRACT The cyclic nitramine explosive CL-20 (2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane) was examined in soil microcosms to determine whether it is biodegradable. CL-20 was incubated with a variety of soils. The explosive disappeared in all microcosms except the controls in which microbial activity had been inhibited. CL-20 was degraded most rapidly in garden soil. After 2 days of incubation, about 80% of the initial CL-20 had disappeared. A CL-20-degrading bacterial strain, Agrobacterium sp. strain JS71, was isolated from enrichment cultures containing garden soil as an inoculum, succinate as a carbon source, and CL-20 as a nitrogen source. Growth experiments revealed that strain JS71 used 3 mol of nitrogen per mol of CL-20.

ABSTRACTAnaerobic microcosms constructed with soil from Guadeloupe, amended with electron donor (ethanol and acetone) and incubated for more than a decade, transformed chlordecone (CLD) into a suite of progressively more dechlorinated products, including a fully dechlorinated carboxylated indene product. This fully dechlorinated transformation product has never before been observed and indicates that complete dechlorination of CLD is possible. The carboxylated indene was detected by LC-MS and structure was confirmed by LC-MS/MS using a Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer.
