Micropollutant-driven bacterial adaptation enables resilient pharmaceuticals biodegradation at trace concentrations in biologically treated wastewater.

The paper shows that microbial consortia adapted to pharmaceuticals retain degradation capacity across wide concentration ranges and can be applied to real wastewater treatment.

Compost bacteria as a promising new solution for degradation of diclofenac and related pharmaceuticals for water treatment processes

This study shows thermophilic compost microorganisms can efficiently degrade diclofenac and related pharmaceuticals, outperforming mesophilic microbes in wastewater treatment.
