therapeutic action: bioremediation of contaminated soil and water

Engineering bacterial biocatalysts for the degradation of phthalic acid esters

mycolabadmin

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are chemicals used to make plastics flexible that can leak into the environment and harm human health. Scientists are engineering bacteria with improved enzymes to break down PAEs more efficiently through a process called bioremediation. The review discusses how bacteria naturally degrade these pollutants and outlines strategies to make this process faster and more practical for cleaning contaminated environments.

White Rot Fungi as Tools for the Bioremediation of Xenobiotics: A Review

mycolabadmin

White rot fungi are nature’s cleanup crew that can break down many toxic chemicals in our environment, from industrial dyes to pesticides. These special fungi produce powerful enzymes that can degrade pollutants that normally resist breakdown, making them promising tools for cleaning contaminated soil and water. Scientists are studying how to better harness these fungi’s abilities to treat industrial wastewater and restore polluted environments.
