Microbes in Brooklyn Superfund site teach lessons on fighting industrial pollution.
Finding suggests cheaper, more sustainable, and less disruptive method for cleaning contaminated waterways than the current dredging operations.
Researchers also discovered 2,300 novel genetic sequences that could enable microbes to produce potentially valuable biochemical compounds for medicine, industry, or environmental applications.
The hardy microbial organisms of the Gowanus Canal have a unique genetic catalog of survival, which provides a roadmap for adaptation and directed evolution that we can use in polluted sites around the world.
