Synergistic biodegradation of aromatic-aliphatic copolyester plastic by a marine microbial consortium

The degradation of plastics by marine microbes is not well understood. Here, Meyer-Cifuentes et al. use a meta-omics approach to study the biodegradation of an aromatic-aliphatic copolyester blend by a marine microbial enrichment culture, showing that different degradation steps are performed by dif...

Sumario:The degradation of plastics by marine microbes is not well understood. Here, Meyer-Cifuentes et al. use a meta-omics approach to study the biodegradation of an aromatic-aliphatic copolyester blend by a marine microbial enrichment culture, showing that different degradation steps are performed by different microorganisms.
