Potensi Mikroorganisme Sebagai Agen Bioremediasi Mikroplastik Di Laut
This Indonesian review examines microorganisms with the potential to biodegrade microplastics in marine environments, including bacteria that can use plastic as a carbon source. Identifying plastic-degrading microbes is a step toward developing biological remediation strategies for marine microplastic pollution.
Plastic pollution and beyond: do microbes hold the key towards a sustainable solution to this global crisis?
Researchers investigated marine microplastic pollution along the Andaman Sea coastline to establish baseline data on plastic type and abundance, and reviewed the potential of microbial communities to degrade microplastics as part of a broader analysis of biological and bioengineering solutions to the global plastic pollution crisis.
Microplastics under siege: Biofilm-forming marine bacteria from the microplastisphere and their role in plastic degradation
Researchers isolated and screened bacteria from microplastics collected along coastal beaches of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to assess their ability to degrade plastic. One bacterial strain achieved over 10% degradation of low-density polyethylene, with surface analysis confirming physical breakdown of the plastic. The study suggests that naturally occurring marine bacteria colonizing microplastics may play a role in plastic biodegradation in ocean environments.
Microplastic pollution in fragile coastal ecosystems with special reference to the X-Press Pearl maritime disaster, southeast coast of India
Researchers assessed microplastic pollution in beach sediments and marine biota along India's Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar coast, finding polyethylene fibers as the dominant type and examining microbial degradation potential on microplastic surfaces.
Characterization of microplastic degrading bacteria isolated from the Putri Cempo landfill
Researchers isolated bacteria from a landfill in Indonesia and characterized their ability to degrade microplastics, identifying indigenous strains with potential for use in bioremediation of plastic pollution.
