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

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 environmental decontamination and sustainable production through synergistic and complementary interactions of actinobacteria and fungi

Actinobacteria and fungi are powerful microorganisms that can be used together to clean up polluted environments and improve agriculture. When these two types of organisms work together in co-cultures, they can degrade toxic substances like pesticides and heavy metals more effectively than either could alone. This approach offers a sustainable way to address environmental contamination while potentially reducing reliance on chemical treatments.
