Employing Chlorella pyrenoidosa in eco-friendly acetylsalicylic acid degradation: insights from physiology and transcriptomics
Emerging contaminants, often present at low concentrations, are increasingly concerning due to their persistence and potential hazards. Chlorella pyrenoidosa, an efficient microalga, has shown significant potential for removing emerging contaminants from aquatic environments.These results highlight C. pyrenoidosa as a promising, eco-friendly solution for the removal of ASA, offering potential applications in sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
