Batch studies on the biodegradation of paracetamol and 1,4-hydroquinone by novel bacterial strains isolated from extreme environmental samples and the identification of candidate catabolic genes

Abstract The emerging pollutant paracetamol (APAP) is one of the most prescribed drugs worldwide. In addition, APAP and its main metabolites, namely, 4-aminophenol (4-AP), hydroquinone (H2Q), benzoquinone (BQ), and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (2,5-OH-BQ), among others, are frequently detected in...
