that are able to use thiodiglycol as their sole source of carbon and sulfur. Mustard from I-ton containers at Aberdeen Proving Ground was used to demonstrate that chemical hydrolysis by NaOH with NH3, followed by biodegradation, was directly applicable to chemical agent stockpiles.

Biochemical processing would most likely involve either enzymes or whole cells dispersed in dilute chemical agent or immobilized as a catalyst bed through which the chemical agent would flow. The whole ceils method would most likely require production of smaller quantities of enzymes or cells.

Biodegradation of chemical reaction products would result in the following process waste streams: process waste water, including nondegradable process reaction or biodegradation products and neutralization salts; sludge from produced microbial cell mass; and gaseous bioreactor effluents.

The following steps would be recuired for Drocess development and scnie,~n . ~- - - rip a -- - r identifying microorganisms capable of biodegrading specific chemical reaction products; determining the maximum initial concentration of reaction products that can be degraded without adverse effects on the microbial corrunun~ty; determining the maximum extent of biodegradation achievable; determining biodegradation stoichiometry and rates; and developing process-control strategies.
