    Microorganisms can transform synthetic cannabinoids through various chemical reactions like oxidation and hydroxylation. These biotransformations offer insights into novel metabolic pathways for drug modification.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Synthetic Chemistry
    • Biotechnology

    Background:

    • Synthetic cannabinoids are compounds designed to mimic the effects of THC.
    • Understanding their metabolism is crucial for forensic and toxicological analysis.
    • Microbial biotransformation offers a sustainable approach to study drug metabolism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the metabolic fate of two synthetic cannabinoid substrates using microbial screening.
    • To identify and characterize the biotransformation pathways employed by microorganisms.

    Main Methods:
