Genomic and proteomic analysis of Bacillus subtilis as microplastic bioremediation agents
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed the genes and proteins of Bacillus subtilis bacteria to understand how this common soil microbe might be used to break down microplastics biologically. The genomic and proteomic analysis identified enzymes that could potentially degrade plastic polymers, advancing efforts to develop microbial bioremediation of plastic pollution.
