Researcher Asst. Prof. Dr. Raghad Shaber Jaafar participated in the Marine Sciences Center at the University of Basra in the first international environmental forum held by the Dowiz Environmental Protection Organization in cooperation with the Iraqi Ministry of Environment, which was held electronically at the University of Kirkuk. The participation included presenting a research paper entitled Microbial Solutions for Cleaning the Environment: The Role of Sphingomonas Paucimobilis in Removing Heavy Metals and Aromatic Hydrocarbons. The research aims to adopt environmentally friendly methods to remove pollution from heavy metals and aromatic hydrocarbons. These methods include adopting bacteria isolated from the same environment and with the ability to coexist with high concentrations of these pollutants as a result of their possession of a special physiology in representing these pollutants and adopting them as alternative energy sources.
