Bacteria will help purify water from persistent PFAS
Scientists have discovered that the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris is capable of absorbing the persistent pollutant PFOA, a member of the PFAS family. This finding could pave the way for the development of biological methods for water purification, although further research is needed before such methods can be implemented.
