Mycodegradation of Microplastics
Summary
This review surveys fungal species with demonstrated capacity to degrade microplastic polymers — a process termed mycodegradation — and evaluates the mechanisms and limitations of fungal-based bioremediation approaches. Fungal degradation of microplastics offers a scalable, environmentally compatible strategy for reducing the persistent plastic burden in soils and aquatic systems, ultimately limiting the contamination that reaches food supplies and human bodies.
Microplastic pollution has gained much more attention in the research field as it has created a greater threat to biota worldwide. A major source of these microplastic materials is derived from mismanaged wastes in the environment. Current approaches like recycling...
