Résumé
Graphene oxide (GO) and graphene-based materials (GBMs) have gained over the last two decades considerable attention due to their intrinsic physicochemical properties and their applications. Besides, a lot of concern regarding the potential toxicity of GBMs has emerged. One of the aspects of concern is the interactions between GBMs and different environmental compartments, especially indigenous microbial and, in particular, bacterial communities. Recent research showed that GO and GBMs impacted bacterial pure culture or bacterial communities; therefore, these interactions have to be further studied to better understand and assess the fate of these materials in the environment. Here, we present our opinion and hypotheses related to possible degradation mechanisms of GO that can be used by environmental bacteria. This work is the first attempt to deduce and summarize plausible degradation pathways of GO, from structurally similar recalcitrant and toxic compounds, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
