A silent but devastating threat is compromising the durability of wastewater infrastructure: microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC). This complex process, driven by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, ...
Microplastics can go right through wastewater treatment plants, and researchers have engineered bacteria commonly found there to break down this pollution before it can persist in the environment.
Another review highlighted the broader applications of photosynthetic bacteria in wastewater treatment, emphasizing their ability to produce not only SCP but also other valuable substances like ...
