Certain chemicals, such as heavy metals (e.g., lead, Mercury), persistent organic pollutants (e.g., polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs), and some synthetic chemicals (e.g., certain pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals), can accumulate in the body and are difficult to metabolize and excrete safely. These compounds may lead to toxic effects, as they can disrupt biological processes and cause long-term health issues. Additionally, some chemicals can evade metabolic pathways due to their complex structures, making detoxification challenging.

Why man-made chemical are not biodegradable?

Many man-made chemicals are not biodegradable because they contain chemical structures that are not easily broken down by natural biological processes. These chemicals may be designed to be stable and resistant to degradation, leading to accumulation in the environment. Additionally, the enzymes that organisms use to break down these chemicals may not recognize or be able to metabolize them effectively.

Why are many bacteria that are able to metabolize citrate produce negative results?

Many bacteria that are able to metabolize citrate do not produce a positive result on citrate utilization tests because they usually require specific conditions or mutations to express the necessary citrate transporter genes. In the absence of these conditions or mutations, the bacteria cannot transport citrate into the cell for metabolism, resulting in a negative test result.
