Micropollutants and Their Interactions With Relevant Environmental Viruses

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Environmental micropollutants increase virus stability. ABSTRACT Emerging pollutants encompass a diverse array of chemicals classified as micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs). Viruses are known to adsorb onto MPs, including binding to bacterial biofilms that form the plastisphere.

Degradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Metabolites by Naphthalene-Catabolizing Enzymes [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT The ability of the dehydrogenase and ring cleavage dioxygenase of the naphthalene degradation pathway to transform 3,4-dihydroxylated biphenyl metabolites was investigated. 1,2-Dihydro-1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dehydrogenase was expressed as a histidine-tagged protein.

Modeling the Migration and Growth of Shewanella Oneidensis MR‐1 in a Diffusion‐Dominated Microfluidic Gradient Chamber Under the Influence of an Antibiotic Concentration Gradient

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 122, Issue 7, Page 1840-1855, July 2025.
The authors investigate how Shewanella oneidensis navigates toxic environments to access nutrients in a simplified soil environment, combining modeling and experimental data. Their results reveal that motility, rather than chemotaxis, enables bacterial migration into antibiotic‐laden zones to reduce nitrate, suggesting a key mechanism for pollutant ...
