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

Francesca Demaria, Marcel Suleiman, Rafael Bargiela…·Pilar Junier

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