Chlorinated nitroaromatic compounds (CNAs) are persistent environmental pollutants that have been introduced into the environment due to the anthropogenic activities. Bacteria that utilize CNAs as the sole sources of carbon and energy have been isolated from different contaminated and non-contaminated sites. Microbial metabolism of CNAs has been studied, and several metabolic pathways for degradation of CNAs have been proposed. Detoxification and biotransformation of CNAs have also been studied in various fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria. Several physicochemical methods have been used for treatment of wastewater containing CNAs; however, these methods are not suitable for in situ bioremediation. This review describes the current scenario of the degradation of CNAs.
氯代硝基芳烃化合物（CNAs）是持久性的环境污染物，由于人为活动而被引入环境中。已经从不同的污染和非污染地点分离出了能够利用 CNAs 作为唯一碳源和能源的细菌。已经对微生物对 CNAs 的代谢进行了研究，并提出了几种降解 CNAs 的代谢途径。在各种真菌、放线菌和细菌中也研究了 CNAs 的解毒和生物转化。已经使用了几种物理化学方法来处理含有 CNAs 的废水；然而，这些方法不适合原位生物修复。本综述描述了 CNAs 降解的现状。
