Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how indigenous bacteria can break down phosphogypsum (PG) when given the right nutrients, focusing on the mechanisms of biotransformation.
  • Seven multi-metal-resistant bacterial strains were isolated and characterized, showing strong heavy metal uptake and the ability to degrade PG.
  • The bacterial consortium not only transformed PG from acidic to alkaline but also helped in carbon dioxide sequestration by producing key enzymes like carbonic anhydrase and urease.

Mucormycosis is a rare but life-threatening disease with high morbidity and mortality and is difficult to diagnose. Mucormycosis, is a severe but rare fungal infection caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. Diabetes, use of corticosteroids, metabolic/diabetic acidosis and Covid-19 mediated immunosuppression are reported in more than 70% of cases in mucormycosis patients.

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a waste by-product of phosphate fertilizer industry, produced in huge amount during the manufacture of phosphoric acid by economic wet process. Assessment of PG toxicity on soil has been poorly emphasized, therefore an efficient methods needs to be adopted to assess its toxic effect on soil fertility. We also need an effective eco-technological strategies for better waste PG management in order to improve the environmental health.

Microorganisms that survive in extreme environmental conditions are known as 'extremophiles'. Recently, extremophiles draw an impression in biotechnology/pharmaceutical researches/industries because of their novel molecules, known as 'extremolytes'. The intriguing phenomenon of microbial radiation resistance probably arose independently throughout their evolution of selective pressures (e.
