Burgeoning commercial applications of catechol have led to its excessive accumulation in the environment, thereby posing a severe ecological threat. Bioremediation has emerged as a promising solution. The potential of the microalga to degrade catechol and use the byproduct as a carbon source was investigated in this study. Catechol significantly increased growth and was rapidly catabolized within 60 h of cultivation. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted the key genes involved in catechol degradation. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that transcription of key genes , and involved in the ortho-cleavage pathway was remarkably increased by 2.9-, 4.2-, and 2.4- fold, respectively. Key primary metabolite content was also markedly altered, with a specific increment in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Electron microscopy and antioxidant analysis showed that could tolerate catechol treatment without morphological aberrations or oxidative stress. The findings provide a strategy for in the bioremediation of catechol and concurrent polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) accumulation.

Tyrosinases (TYRs) are a family of copper-containing metalloenzymes that are present in all domains of life. TYRs catalyze the reactions that start the biosynthesis of melanin, the main pigment of the animal kingdom, and are also involved in the formation of the bright colors seen on the caps of mushrooms and in the petals of flowers. TYRs catalyze the -hydroxylation and oxidation of phenols and the oxidation of catechols to the respective -quinones.

Aniline and crude oil are common environmental pollutants that present a significant risk to both the ecological and human health environments. The implementation of efficacious bioremediation strategies is imperative for the elimination of these contaminants. In this study, a bacterial strain designated DH-2 was isolated from soil contaminated with aniline.

Environmental abuses and subsequent array of health hazards by petroleum products have emerged as a global concern that warrants proper remediation. Pyrene (PYR), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, is a xenobiotic by-product during crude petroleum processing. Biodegradation potential of two bacterial isolates (MK4 and MK9) of Brevibacterium sediminis from oil contaminated sites was explored.
