Team discovers potential bacterial solution to ‘forever’ chemicals
University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Engineering researchers are exploring a surprising ally in the fight against toxic “forever chemicals.”
Scientists in the labs of Rajib Saha and Nirupam Aich have discovered that a common photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, can interact with perfluorooctanoic acid, one of the most persistent types of PFAS chemicals. Their study, published in “Environmental Science: Advances,” shows that the bacterium absorbs PFOA into its cell membrane — a process that shifts over time.
