Microbial Degradation of Microplastics
Summary
Researchers reviewed microbial degradation mechanisms for microplastics, identifying bacterial and fungal species capable of colonizing plastic surfaces and breaking down polymer chains through enzymatic activity, though noting that degradation rates under environmental conditions remain too slow to address current pollution levels.
Microplastics pollution has become a widely discussed concern in recent years as these tiny particles have infiltrated every corner of the environment. Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, pose significant environmental and health...
