A report from the University of Lahore in Pakistan discusses the increasing problem of water pollution, particularly from heavy metals, and its impact on human health. The researchers highlight the use of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) as a potential solution for removing toxic metals from water. GMMs produce enzymes and metabolites that can convert these metals into non-toxic forms. The review explores recent advances in developing GMMs and their applications in removing heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead. The research also acknowledges the challenges and risks associated with this technique. [Extracted from the article] |
