Chitosan and polyacrylic acid engineered AlFeO3 validated degradation of rhodamine B and resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa of epizootic ulcerative syndrome in Ctenopharyngodon idella with mechanistic insights

Key Points

• Degradation of rhodamine B is achieved using a composite of chitosan and polyacrylic acid engineered AlFeO3.
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance in epizootic ulcerative syndrome is successfully addressed, improving fish health.
• Assessment using a mechanistic approach reveals insights into the effectiveness of the composite materials.
• Supports the potential application of biopolymeric materials in combating waterborne contaminants and pathogens.
