title: Surface-Nanoengineered Bacteria for Efficient Local Enrichment and Biodegradation of Aqueous Organic Wastes: Using Phenol as a Model Compound.
abstract: Bacteria armed with thermally responsive silica nanoparticles are prepared for efficient biodegradation of phenol in water. The adsorption and release properties of thermally responsive silica nanoparticles under different temperatures can lead to a higher local concentration of phenol, which accelerates the biodegradation process.
