Extensive PFAS accumulation by human gut bacteria
2024-09-17
Abstract excerpt
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) – the so-called ‘forever chemicals’ – are a major cause of environmental and health concern due to their toxicity and long-term persistence 1,2 . Yet, no efficient mechanisms for their removal have been identified. Here we report bioaccumulation of PFAS by several gut bacterial species over a wide range of concentrations from nanomolar up to 500 μM. For bioaccumulating B...
