The paper develops an enzyme-level benchmark using bacterial laccases to predict the biotransformation of trace organic contaminants in water.

This paper discovers that human gut microbes can cleave carbon-fluorine bonds using defluorinases, identifies structural features predictive of this activity, and develops a screening assay for detecting such enzymes.
