The application of cold-adapted microorganisms in biphenyl biodegradation: Responses and mechanisms to environmental temperature fluctuations

Key Points

• Biphenyl biodegradation rates increase significantly under variable environmental temperatures, enhancing ecological remediation.
• The most notable finding is a 30% improvement in biodegradation efficiency at lower temperatures for cold-adapted microorganisms.
• Observational analysis explores how cold-adapted microorganisms respond to temperature fluctuations in their environments.
• These findings highlight potential biotechnological applications for environmental cleanup in colder climates.
