The bacterial strain RB1, which is isolated by enrichment cultivation with 2,4-dinitrophenol, degrades this phenol into two aliphatic acids. One metabolite results from the release of the 2-nitro group as nitrile, with the production of aliphatic nitro compound, 3-nitroadipate. Then, the 3-nitro group is released from this metabolite as nitrile. The other metabolite is 4,6-dinitrohexanoic acid possessing two nitro groups from 2,4-dinitrophenol.
