Abstract
Many synthetic nitroaromatic compounds were used as intermediates for chemical synthesis of drugs, herbicides, dyes, and so on, but their dissatisfactory water solubility and high toxicity have caused seriously environmental problems. It is lucky to know that many microorganisms can function quite well to degrade them. In this paper the recent progresses of biodegradation of nitroaromatic compounds for its potency of improving environment are reviewed.
