Mechanistic and phylogenetic insights into actinobacteria‐mediated oestrogen biodegradation in urban estuarine sediments
Summary Steroidal oestrogens are often accumulated in urban estuarine sediments worldwide at microgram per gram levels. These aromatic steroids have been classified as endocrine disruptors and group 1 carcinogens. Microbial degradation is a naturally occurring mechanism that mineralizes oestrogens i...
