In some states where oil palm is established, lax enforcement of environmental legislation leads to encroachment of plantations into riparian strips, [58] and release of pollutants such as palm oil mill effluent (POME) into the environment. [58] POME is a waste product created during the final stages of palm oil extraction.
Galactomyces reesii was studied as a treatment to remove phenolic contamination from palm oil extraction. G. reessii was isolated from subterranean termites. In this study, it was found that the enzymes, laccase and manganese peroxidase worked to depolymerize lignin, which is rich in phenol.
An example is the members of Methanosaeta genus dominate the digestion of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and brewery waste. [54] Modernizing wastewater treatment systems to incorporate higher diversity of microorganisms to decrease organic content in treatment is under active research in the field of microbiological and chemical engineering.

In October 2021, a project in Indonesia on palm oil mill effluent (POME), a by-product of palm oil production that emits greenhouse gases and reportedly harms flora and fauna in local rivers, identified viable green solutions to turn the high organic content of POME wastewater into biogas and other environmentally friendly uses.

Anaerobic treatment of palm oil mill effluent, practiced in Malaysia and Indonesia, results in domination of Methanosaeta concilii. It plays an important role in methane production from acetate and the optimum condition for its growth should be considered to harvest biogas as renewable fuel. [73] Unfortunately, the production of palm oil has ...
