- - With the increasing population and limited freshwater sources, protecting these sources has become critical in water resource management, relying heavily on factors like funding, threats, and public response.
- - Emerging contaminants in surface water pose new challenges, and while research is ongoing in South Africa, information about these contaminants is not well organized or easily accessible to stakeholders.
- - By leveraging fourth industrial revolution technology, researchers have created an online platform that organizes and visualizes water contamination data in real-time, improving collaboration and acting as an early warning system for environmental regulators.
Restoration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon- (PAH-) polluted sites is presently a major challenge in agroforestry. Consequently, microorganisms with PAH-degradation ability and soil fertility improvement attributes are sought after in order to achieve sustainable remediation of polluted sites. This study isolated PAH-degrading bacteria from enriched cultures of spent automobile engine-oil polluted soil.

Its draft genome consists of several predicted genes that are involved in the hydroxylation of the aromatic ring, which is the rate-limiting step in the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
