Tenebrio molitor and its gut bacteria growth in polystyrene (PS) presence as the sole source carbon

Although polystyrene (PS) is considered a non-biodegradable material, recent work has shown the degradation capacity of this material by microorganisms, especially those that are part of the natural microbiota of the digestive tract of some invertebrates. The present work sought to evaluate the g...
