Research abstract
1Critical experiments will be conducted to investigate the feasibility of using the white rot fungus, Phanerochaete Chrysosporium, and its enzymes for biotreatment of chemical waste arising from ordnance manufacture as well as for bioremediation of environmental contamination by ordnance chemicals. Information available in published literature will also be collected and employed in the effort.
