Transformations of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) by a number of yeasts and fungi have been studied. The major portion of TNT added to the medium is transformed to reduced metabolites: 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene with the former isomer being in predominance. The scheme of TNT transformation via the nitroreductase stage proposed earlier for bacteria also holds true for yeasts and fungi. The difference between the results cited in this paper and those obtained by other authors can be attributed to the dissimilar biological and chemical stability of TNT reduced metabolites.
人们已经研究了多种酵母和真菌对2,4,6-三硝基甲苯（TNT）的转化作用。添加到培养基中的TNT大部分转化为还原代谢产物：2-氨基-4,6-二硝基甲苯和4-氨基-2,6-二硝基甲苯，其中前一种异构体占主导。先前针对细菌提出的通过硝基还原酶阶段进行TNT转化的方案，对于酵母和真菌同样适用。本文引用的结果与其他作者所得结果之间的差异，可归因于TNT还原代谢产物不同的生物和化学稳定性。
