Environmental co-contamination presents significant challenges. To tackle these, while microbial consortia offer advantages over single-strain approaches, such as functional redundancy and synergistic degradation, rationally designing effective synthetic microbiomes specifically for complex ...
Progestins are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, with adverse effects on aquatic organisms' reproduction even at extremely low concentrations (0.8 ng/L). As female germ cells, oocytes play an irreplaceable role in organismal reproductive processes. However, the toxic mechanism of norgestrel (NG...
