FIG. 4

A constructed pathway for the biodegradation of RDX (200 mg/liter) with municipal anaerobic sludge (pH 7.0). Path a, postulated pathway via direct ring cleavage of RDX; path b, degradation via reduction to the nitroso derivatives followed by ring cleavage (modified McCormick et al. pathway [25]). Dashed arrows represent steps that have not been observed in the present study, and square brackets signify that no quantitation was done.
