Harnessing the Ecological and Genomic Adaptability of the Bacterial Genus Massilia for Environmental and Industrial Applications

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2025.
The bacterial genus Massilia thrives in extreme habitats such as deserts, permafrost, and post‐fire soils. It degrades complex pollutants and collaborates with mycorrhizal fungi to degrade hydrocarbons. The ability of some members of the genus Massilia to produce specific secondary metabolites and biopolymers positions it as a potential candidate for ...

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Indoor Environments: A Review and Analysis of Measured Concentrations in Europe

Indoor Air, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Indoor air quality is a significant aspect of public health, yet it remains less studied than outdoor air pollution. Understudied indoor pollutants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This review focuses on these two groups of compounds known for their health effects, including respiratory issues ...
