TL;DR: A kinetic model that describes the anaerobic cometabolism of 2,4-dinitrtoluene (DNT) with ethanol as the primary substrate has been developed based on experimental results and exhibits a very strong competitive inhibition to further biotransformation of 4-A-2-NT and 2,A-4-NT.

Anaerobic biotransformation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene with ethanol as primary substrate: Mutual effect of the substrates on their biotransformation

WATER RESEARCH, 30(2), 307–314.

author keywords: 2,4-dinitrotoluene; anaerobic biotransformation; ethanol; primary substrate; methanogenic culture; biochemical methane potential; propionate; inhibition
TL;DR: 2,4-DNT inhibited its own biotransformation as well as the acetogenesis of ethanol and caused a decrease in the extent of formation of propionate with acetate production being favored. (via Semantic Scholar)
