<i>Streptomyces</i> as Potential Synthetic Polymer Degraders: A Systematic Review

The inherent resistance of synthetic plastics to degradation has led to an increasing challenge of waste accumulation problem and created a pollution issue that can only be addressed with novel complementary methods such as biodegradation. Since biocontrol is a promising eco-friendly option to addre...
