Bifurcated Fluorotelomer Carboxylic Acid Biotransformation: Enoyl-Hydration versus Hydroxylation Regulated by Redox Conditions
Fluorotelomer carboxylic acids (FTCAs) are important precursors of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in wastewater and biosolids, yet their redox-dependent biotransformation remains poorly understood. We investigated 5:3 FTCA biotransformation in microcosms inoculated with activated sludge and anaerobic digester...
