Bioremediation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by bacterial nitroreductase expressing transgenic aspen
-
This paper describes the transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana plants by the introduction of an Escherichia coli NfsA nitroreductase, with activity against different nitroaromatic compounds. Transgenic plants showed higher nitroreductase activity, TNT tolerance, and TNT uptake compared with wild-type plants. The paper also showed a reduction of TNT into 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene, which was no observed with wild-type organisms.

Impact of Transgenic tobacco on trinitrotoluene (TNT) contaminated soil community
-
This paper shows that transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing a bacterial nitroreductase gene detoxified soil contaminated with TNT, resulting in significantly increased microbial biomass and activity in the rhizosphere compared with wild-type plants.
