Usage and Biology
Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory treatment drug widely used in the world that can be bought without any necessary prescription. This makes ibuprofen a drug that everyone can consume easily, bringing problems because its disposal makes it an emerging contaminant in water bodies 10. An example of it is Sphingomonas Ibu-2; an organism that has been grown in an environment rich in ibuprofen. The described organism has the ability to metabolize ibuprofen to isobutylcatechol due to the adaptation, which one particular gene is in charge of this degradation which is IpfF (Murdoch et al., 2013).
