Summary
Researchers reviewed how certain bacteria can degrade plastic polymers, investigating whether bacterial cultures could offer a biological solution to microplastic pollution as an alternative to conventional waste treatment methods.
Plastics are large molecular-weight organic polymers, commonly derived from different petrochemicals. There is a considerable increase in the global demand for plastics because of the ease of processing into various products used for packaging, handling, and storage...
