Abstract
Many natural microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, can be used to degrade toxic pollutants and remediate contaminated sites. These microorganisms use a series of enzymes, called cascade enzymes, to break down pollutants step by step into less toxic end products. However, this process is slow and often allows toxic intermediates to accumulate. The goal of this CAREER project is to make biodegradation more…
