The ever-increasing number of pollutants discharged into the environment drives the search for new treatment technologies or the modification of the existing ones.
Viruses do not behave as other microbes; their life cycles require infecting healthy cells, commandeering their cellular apparatus, replicating and then killing the host cell.
