    Author: Seth-Smith HM, Edwards J, Rosser SJ, Rathbone DA, Bruce NC.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2008 Jul; 74(14):4550-2. PubMed ID: 18487400.
    Abstract:
    Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a widely used explosive and a serious environmental pollutant. Nineteen strains of Rhodococcus spp. capable of utilizing RDX as the sole nitrogen source have been isolated. The cytochrome P450 system XplA-XplB, which is responsible for RDX breakdown, is present in 18 of these strains.
