Microplastics Pollution: Occurrence, Behaviour and Microbial Remediation Technologies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review covers the occurrence, environmental behavior, and microbial remediation technologies for microplastic pollution, noting their diverse physical and chemical properties that make them persistent environmental hazards. Microplastics pose risks across ecosystems by carrying toxic chemicals and physically harming organisms, making microbial cleanup strategies a promising tool for reducing contamination before it reaches human bodies.
Degradation of Polypropylene Microplastics by a Consortium of Bacteria Colonizing Plastic Surface Waste from Jakarta Bay
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers isolated bacterial consortia from plastic waste collected at three Jakarta Bay sites and tested their ability to degrade polypropylene microplastics over 60 days, finding up to 6.6% degradation with FTIR and SEM analyses confirming chemical and structural damage to the plastic surface.
Microbial Solution for Mitigating Plastic Pollution: From Environmental Hazard to Sustainable Management
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microbial strategies for managing plastic pollution, documenting how bacteria and fungi capable of degrading synthetic polymers have gained renewed importance following the COVID-19-driven surge in single-use plastic production and the resulting environmental burden.
Microplastic Pollution: Harmful Effects and Possible Bioremediation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the harmful effects of microplastic pollution on terrestrial and marine ecosystems and surveys potential bioremediation strategies — including microbial, phytoremediation, and combined approaches — for mitigating contamination. Given that microplastics persist indefinitely in the environment and accumulate in food webs, identifying effective bioremediation pathways is essential for reducing the chronic dietary and environmental exposure burden on human and animal populations.
