Engineered bacteria can degrade five wastewater pollutants at the same time
Nature, Published online: 07 May 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-01371-xFive gene clusters have been integrated into the bacterium Vibrio natriegens to engineer a strain that can remediate five organic pollutants — toluene, phenol, naphthalene, biphenyl and dibenzofuran — in industrial waste water and saline soil.
