Schematic diagram of the interfacial processes and mechanisms for the synergistic degradation of dichlorobiphenyl by white rot fungus and magnetite nanoparticles

Caption

At the interface of nano-biology, fungi trigger the creation of oxygen vacancies on mineral surfaces via biomineralization. This process, in turn, propels the activity of mineral nanozymes, leading to the degradation of organic pollutants.
