As the economy has developed rapidly, environmental problems caused by refractory pollutants are becoming increasingly evident; indeed, these are major pressing challenges facing China, and these must be solved. Microorganism is an important driver for toxicant degradation, and basic breakthroughs about microbial degradation mechanisms are of great significance. Dr. Tang’s group break through the limitation of natural evolution, as it aims squarely to generate microbes able to degrade pollutants including high ring aromatic hydrocarbons and dioxins. In addition, the development of a responsive, self-limited, high efficiency intelligent artificial degradation system that can be employed with genetic resources identified from myriad environmental sources had been studied.
