This... kind of answers your question actually! https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0189177 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... The answer is yes, bearing in mind this study is actually about bioremediation of the toxic residues of (some!) explosives. I struggle to think of a way that a guncotton deflagration could contaminate soil, this could just be a failure of imagination on my part but the idea isn't completely insane.

Apparently I'm bullish on explosive farming tech. TNT seems highly biodegradable (!) Another pathway has been described in Pseudomonas sp. strain JLR11 and involves nitrite release and further reduction to ammonium, with almost 85% of the N-TNT incorporated as organic N in the cells. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC99030/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC99030/
