Abstract

, oxytetracycline, and simulated wastewater media, whereas the pristine pectin degraded rapidly. These improvements are attributed to the strong interfacial interactions, including hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, between GluGO and the pectin matrix. In general, the results demonstrate that Pec-GluGO composite beads combine high stability, reduced cytotoxicity, and enhanced microbial compatibility, establishing them as promising, eco-friendly materials for wastewater treatment and sensitive BOD biosensing systems.
