Membrane-protein-based insights into anthracene degradation by <i>Bacillus firmus</i> and its enhancement by rhamnolipids
Bacillus firmus employs a dual adaptation strategy for ANT remediation: optimizing catabolic processes while mitigating cytotoxicity. RLs significantly enhance bioremediation by modulating bacterial membrane structure and function, thereby improving ANT bioavailability and cellular uptake. Combining proteomics with phenotypic validation establishes a framework for biosurfactant-enhanced bioremediation, offering scalable solutions for PAH management.
