Stimulating Acidimicrobium sp. Strain A6 in iron-rich, acidic sediments from AFFF-impacted sites for PFAS defluorination

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: stimulated the Feammox reaction and A6 growth and enhanced the degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). Results also show a significant presence and activity of the above-mentioned genes in these incubations. The insights gained from this study could inform bioremediation strategies for PFAS-contaminated environments, especially in geochemical settings that favor the presence of A6.
