Abstract

Aquatic environmental pollution is a rather worrying and increasingly topical problem that requires the development and promotion of innovative and ecofriendly technologies. Pollutants in water include many common substances that can reach aquatic ecosystems through several pathways including wastewater, the atmosphere, ship discharges, and many other sources. Most of these toxic compounds are internalized by aquatic organisms, leading to bioaccumulation in tissues and reaching any level of the food chain through the biomagnification process. These mechanisms can develop into adverse effects on the physiology of organisms and biochemical processes of natural ecosystems, thus affecting animals, environments, and indirectly, human health. Innovative technologies to tackle marine pollution include bioremediation: a suitable, biological, and ecological approach that enhances the ability of micro-organisms to transform waste and toxic substances into forms that can be used by other organisms. In this context, micro-organisms appear to be essential for the detoxification of aquatic systems due to their metabolic activity. This review provides a careful analysis of the characteristics of the main pollutants that affect aquatic ecosystems, with a focus on their effects on organisms and environments. It also offers clear guidance on innovative biological strategies that can be employed to prevent, limit, and remediate anthropogenic influences on aquatic environments.

  • Bioremediation offers numerous benefits over other cleanup methods, including avoiding human interference and minimizing disturbance to nearby communities.

    “Bioremediation offers numerous benefits over other cleanup methods, including avoiding human interference and minimizing disturbance to nearby communities [15].”

    From Harnessing bacterial consortia for effective bioremediation: targeted removal of heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and persistent pollutants (2025) · cites this paper as [15]

    Section 4 describes bioremediation as efficient and reliable, supporting the general claim that it has benefits. It does not say that bioremediation minimizes disturbance to nearby communities; it also says that larger oil spills require human intervention, so avoiding human interference is not a general benefit established by this source.

  • Bacillus subtilis strains produce β-lactamases that degrade β-lactam antibiotics such as amoxicillin and cephalexin, achieving degradation rates up to 25% under optimal conditions.

    “Bacillus subtilis strains, for example, produce β-lactamases that can degrade β-lactam antibiotics such as amoxicillin and cephalexin, achieving degradation rates of up to 25% under optimal conditions [14,15].”

    From Harnessing bacterial consortia for effective bioremediation: targeted removal of heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and persistent pollutants (2025) · cites this paper as [15]

    Section 5.1 discusses bacterial degradation of hydrocarbons, and the References list a Bacillus subtilis study about crude oil and phenanthrene. Searches for β-lactamases, amoxicillin, cephalexin, and a 25% degradation rate found no passage in our copy addressing the attributed claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
