Here we review microplastics degradation through enzymes from the microorganism's perspective. We present the enzymes that have been isolated from microorganisms for specific microplastics; the mechanisms of microplastics degradation by various enzymes; and the types of microplastics for which degradation ...
Biological degradation of plastic films is usually measured via one of the following methods: weight loss determination, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning co...
The enzymatic hydrolysis in this process can reach a high substrate concentration of 100 g/L. • The dual enzyme system can maximize the utilization of glycolysis products. • The whole degradation process was carried out in a bio-friendly reaction. ...

enzymatic plastic degradationmagnetic actuationsurface walkerUbiquitous pollution by microplastics is causing significant deleterious effects on marine life and human health through the food chain and has become a big challenge for the global ecosystem. It is of great urgency to find a cost-efficient ...
One of the ways microorganisms address this issue is by producing enzymes. This review examines the recent advancements in enzymatic degradation of both commercial-grade and pure polymers, including the effectiveness of enzymes such as laccases, proteases, cutinases, PETase, and MHETase, and the ...
