The explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene is a substance of environmental concern because of its toxicity. In reducing environments TNT is reduced to amino-metabolites that are immobilized into soil organic matter. The humification of TNT was tested with good results for the cleanup of contaminated soil and water. Molasses proved to be a suitable source of organic carbon for the biological reduction.
