Article Synopsis
- * Researchers isolated two microorganisms from oil sands tailings, analyzing their genetic activity and biochemical functions to uncover how these bacteria metabolize and detoxify NAFCs.
- * The study showed that the microorganisms function differently when alone compared to when they are in a co-culture, with the latter exhibiting a faster degradation rate for NAFCs, paving the way for potential enhancements in microbial engineering for environmental clean-up.
