Abstract

-cleavage genes, strain BGMA achieved a 48.50 ± 5.84% (mol/mol) production yield of (methyl)muconates from 20% (w/v) simulated aromatic pollutant mixtures. This study provides an innovative approach to efficiently treat aromatic pollutant mixtures of semicoking wastewater while converting pollutants into valuable chemicals, offering significant benefits for both environmental remediation and resource recovery.
