Symbolic elevation in DNA damage with untreated 2NS administered fishes was observed as revealed by comet assay and micronucleus test. However, 2NS after being degraded using mixed bacterial population showed significant reduction in toxicological effects of 2NS. Thus, this study not only illustrated the adverse impact of such toxic contaminant of industrial waste but also suggested a highly efficient and eco-friendly way to remove the harmful xenobiotics from the environment which may help to reduce the exposure of aquatic fauna and flora to such lethal toxicants.}, number={2}, journal={Toxicology International}, author={Mehra, Sukanya and Dhammi, Prince and Chadha, Pooja and Singh Saini, Harvinder}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={147–157} }
