Article Synopsis
- Understanding how cyanide-degrading bacteria work can help improve methods for cleaning up cyanide pollution, which is important for both health and industry.
- Researchers isolated a strain called Bacillus safensis PER-URP-08 from mine tailings in Peru and found a gene for an enzyme (CynD) that helps break down cyanide, showing it works well even at higher pH levels.
- The study highlights the need for further investigation into using Bacillus safensis PER-URP-08 and its CynD enzyme as effective tools for bioremediation, emphasizing the importance of addressing cyanide's environmental impacts on a global scale.
