Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute in this special issue that emphasizes the most recent strategies at micropollutants biodegradation, exploring the potential of fungi, bacteria, plants and other biocatalysts of interest for decontamination of these toxic substances frequently detected in the environment, especially xenobiotics, such as pesticides, pharmaceutical and personal care products, as well as ubiquitous pollutants regarded as wastes due to excessive and widespread release enhanced by human activity, as PAHs and heavy metals. This Special Issue cordially welcomes potential authors to share their original articles, short communications, and reviews with the scientific community.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Irlon Maciel Ferreira
