Researchers reviewed how certain bacteria can degrade plastic polymers, investigating whether bacterial cultures could offer a biological solution to microplastic pollution as an alternative to conventional waste treatment methods.
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.
Biodegradation of the Macroplastic Waste Using Microbial Approach
AI summary Read the abstract
Microbial biodegradation offers a promising approach to breaking down the growing tide of macroplastic waste entering ocean environments, with certain microorganisms capable of enzymatically depolymerizing synthetic polymers. Understanding and harnessing these microbial pathways is critical for reducing the downstream fragmentation of plastics into microplastics that contaminate marine food webs.
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.
