The present study describes aerobic biodegradation of RDX (175 \u03bcM) when used as an N source for strain DN22. RDX was converted to nitrite (NO\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            ) (30%), nitrous oxide (N\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            O) (3.2%), ammonia (10%), and formaldehyde (HCHO) (27%), which later converted to carbon dioxide. In experiments with ring-labeled [\n            <jats:sup>15<\/jats:sup>\n            N]-RDX, gas chromatographic\/mass spectrophotometric (GC\/MS) analysis revealed N\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            O with two molecular mass ions: one at 44 Da, corresponding to\n            <jats:sup>14<\/jats:sup>\n            N\n            <jats:sup>14<\/jats:sup>\n            NO, and the second at 45 Da, corresponding to\n            <jats:sup>15<\/jats:sup>\n            N\n            <jats:sup>14<\/jats:sup>\n            NO. The nonlabeled N\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            O could be formed only from -NO\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            , whereas the\n            <jats:sup>15<\/jats:sup>\n            N-labeled one was presumed to originate from a nitramine group (\n            <jats:sup>15<\/jats:sup>\n            N-\n            <jats:sup>14<\/jats:sup>\n            NO\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            ) in RDX. Liquid chromatographic (LC)-MS electrospray analyses indicated the formation of a dead end product with a deprotonated molecular mass ion [M-H] at 118 Da. High-resolution MS indicated a molecular formula of C\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            H\n            <jats:sub>5<\/jats:sub>\n            N\n            <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n            O\n            <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n            . When the experiment was repeated with ring-labeled [\n            <jats:sup>15<\/jats:sup>\n            N]-RDX, the [M-H] appeared at 120 Da, indicating that two of the three N atoms in the metabolite originated from the ring in RDX. When [U-\n            <jats:sup>14<\/jats:sup>\n            C]-RDX was used in the experiment, 64% of the original radioactivity in RDX incorporated into the metabolite with a molecular weight (MW) of 119 (high-pressure LC\/radioactivity) and 30% in\n            <jats:sup>14<\/jats:sup>\n            CO\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            (mineralization) after 4 days of incubation, suggesting that one of the carbon atoms in RDX was converted to CO\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            and the other two were incorporated in the ring cleavage product with an MW of 119. Based on the above stoichiometry, we propose a degradation pathway for RDX based on initial denitration followed by ring cleavage to formaldehyde and the dead end product with an MW of 119.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.68.1.166-172.2002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T10:00:58Z","timestamp":1027764058000},"page":"166-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":146,"title":["Determination of Key Metabolites during Biodegradation of Hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-Triazine with\n            <i>Rhodococcus<\/i>\n            sp.
