Fluoroalkylether compounds affect microbial community structures and abundance of nitrogen cycle-related genes in soil-microbe-plant systems

As alternatives to conventional PFAS, ether-PFAS have not been studied much. Their effects to microbial communities, in particular, have not been reported. In this study, we investigated change of microbial community in soil-plant systems dosed with undecafluoro-2-methyl-3-oxahexanoic acid (GenX), d...
