Plastisphere: Marine Microbial Assemblages for Biodegradation of Microplastics
Summary
Researchers reviewing the plastisphere — microbial communities colonizing marine plastic debris — found that these assemblages harbor plastic-degrading microorganisms and examined their potential role in biodegrading microplastics, while also noting risks of pathogen dispersal on plastic surfaces.
The emergence of plastic waste from industries is a serious ecological concern. In recent years, plastic has been identified in various ecosystems, including human tissues, posing a threat to the biotic components of the Earth and giving rise to potential...
