Enantioselective biodegradation of pharmaceuticals, alprenolol and propranolol, by an activated sludge inoculum

Biodegradation of chiral pharmaceuticals in the environment can be enantioselective. Thus quantification of enantiomeric fractions during the biodegradation process is crucial for assessing the fate of chiral pollutants. This work presents the biodegradation of alprenolol and propranolol using an ac...
