Plastic materials generally are considered non-degradable, yet many materials do suffer from microbial degradation while in service. Signs of degradation include discoloration, odor, or loss of physical properties. The most widely preserved polymer is flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC), used in swimming...

Microbial Degradation Of Plastic: A Short Study The use of mulch made of biodegradable plastic in agriculture is expected to help solve the problem of the enormous amount of plastic waste emission, and t... H Ali,I Wahab 被引量: 3发表: 2017年 [Recent advances in microbial degradation of ...
Plastic debris widely pollutes freshwaters. Abiotic and biotic degradation of plastics releases carbon-based substrates that are available for heterotrophic growth, but little is known about how these novel organic compounds influence microbial metabolism. Here we found leachate from plastic shopping bags ...
Selection and screening of microbial consortia for efficient and ecofriendly degradation of plastic garbage collected from urban and rural areas of Bangalo... Industrialization and urbanization have led to massive accumulation of plastic garbage all over India. The persistence of plastic in soil and aq...
Living organisms are involved in the breakdown of plastic material, and consequently the recycled form reverses back to the environment. Anaerobic microbial degradation releases greenhouse gas (methane) in landfills, which increases global warming. Aerobic conditions are essential for fungal degradation whil...
upcycle PET by adopting medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) andcis-cismuconate (MA) as value-added products. Together, our study showcases the potential of engineered consortia for plastic degradation and conversion, shedding light on the biological mitigation of growing plastic ...
(polylactic acid, PLA) was included to compare the effects of a presumably biodegradable polymer with those more recalcitrant to degradation. To evaluate the potential for these plastics to influence sediment communities in the short-term, microplastics of these four polymers were added to individual ...
To do so, we created a mutant with a deletion in the natural TPA degradation pathway so that PDC could be accumulated. This conversion was further optimised through the deletion of an additional gene and the PDC production capacity was finally evaluated in a fed-batch process....
