Editorial: Biosurfactants – next-generation biomolecules for enhanced biodegradation of organic pollutants, volume II

mycolabadmin

Organic pollutants like oil, plastics, and pesticides are dangerous because they persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms. Biosurfactants are eco-friendly molecules produced by microorganisms that can help break down these stubborn pollutants more effectively than traditional chemical methods. This research shows that biosurfactants can be produced cheaply using agricultural waste and have potential applications in cleaning up oil spills, treating contaminated soil, and even healing wounds.

Enhancing Phenanthrene Degradation by Burkholderia sp. FM-2 with Rhamnolipid: Mechanistic Insights from Cell Surface Properties and Transcriptomic Analysis

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied how a natural soap-like substance called rhamnolipid can help bacteria degrade phenanthrene, a dangerous pollution compound found in oil-contaminated soil. They found that the right amount of this substance makes the bacteria better at breaking down the pollutant by changing the bacteria’s surface properties and activating specific genes. The research shows promise for developing better methods to clean up contaminated environments.

Advancements in biopile-based sustainable soil remediation: a decade of improvements, integrating bioremediation technologies and AI-based innovative tools

mycolabadmin

This review examines how biopile technology, which uses naturally occurring microorganisms to break down soil pollutants, has improved over the past decade. By optimizing conditions like moisture, temperature, and oxygen levels, and combining biopiles with sustainable materials like biochar and biosurfactants, scientists can effectively remove contaminants from soil while supporting carbon storage and ecosystem recovery. The approach offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical remediation methods.
