Environmental contamination by TNT (2, 4, 6 trinitrotoluene), historically used in civilian
industries and the military as an explosive is of great concern due to its toxicity. Scientific
studies have however shown that TNT is susceptible to microbial transformation. The aim of
this study was to assess the potential of a previously bioremediated hydrocarbon
contaminated soil (PBR) to increase TNT degradation rates. This was investigated by adding
TNT chips to PBR and uncontaminated soils (PNC) in laboratory based studies (up to 16
