The role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in chemical-degradation of persistent organic pollutants in soil: A review
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT(2024)
摘要
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soil show high environmental risk due to their high toxicity and low biodegradability. Studies have demonstrated the degradation function of microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on POPs in various matrices. However, the degradation mechanisms and the factors that influence the process in soil have not been clearly illustrated. In this review, the characteristics of EPS were introduced and the possible mechanisms of EPS on degradation of organic pollutants (e.g., external electron transfer, photodegradation, and enzyme catalysis) were comprehensively discussed. In addition, the environmental conditions (e.g., UV, nutrients, and redox potential) that could influence the production and degradation related active components of EPS were addressed. Moreover, the current approaches on the application of EPS in biotechnology were summarized. Further, the future perspectives of enhancement on degradation of POPs by regulating EPS were discussed. Overall, this review could provide a new thought on remediation of POPs by widely-existing EPS in soil with low-cost and minimized eco-disturbance.
