Article Synopsis
- Glyphosate (GLY), a commonly used herbicide, poses environmental risks as it is often found in water, necessitating new strategies for its remediation.
- This study showcases Serratia sp. AC-11, a microorganism from a tropical peatland, used in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) combined with an electron-Fenton (EF) process, achieving 100% glyphosate degradation in the anodic chamber within 48 hours.
- The research highlights Serratia sp. AC-11’s dual role in both biodegrading glyphosate and generating electrons for the EF process, suggesting its potential in sustainable bioelectrochemical environmental remediation.
