Unique adaptations of a photosynthetic microbe Rhodopseudomonas palustris to the toxicological effects of perfluorooctanoic acid

In this study, we investigate the PFOA removal capabilities of Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris), a fluoroacetate dehalogenase containing microbe, as a potential candidate for achieving bioremediation. In the 50-day PFOA uptake experiment, R. palustris removed 44 ± 6.34% PFOA after 20 days …
