Bjerkandera adusta TM11 for the bioremediation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics spiked in wastewater: A sustainable approach to pharmaceutical contaminant biotransformation.

Global antibiotic consumption is increasing dramatically. Antibiotic release into the environment, primarily through wastewater discharge, has serious impacts for human and animal health and microbial ecosystems. To address this issue, white-rot fungi present a promising solution, as they possess oxidative enzymes that can degrade these pollutants.
