Article Synopsis
- Antarctica has been seen as a pristine environment, but recent decades have revealed significant pollution due to human activities like oil spills and waste disposal, as well as natural sources like volcanic activity.
- A microbiological study tested a bacterial consortium's ability to break down phenol in the presence of various heavy metal ions, revealing that these metals inhibited bacterial growth to different extents.
- The findings indicated that aluminum had the least inhibitory effect while silver severely impacted bacterial activity, suggesting that the bacterial consortium could still be effective for phenol degradation at certain metal concentrations.
