Eco-Microbiology: Discovering Biochemical Enhancers of PET Biodegradation by <i>Piscinibacter sakaiensis</i>
2024-07-02
Abstract excerpt
The scale of plastic pollution boggles the mind. Nearly 400 megatons of virgin plastics are produced annually, with an environmental release rate of 80 percent; and plastic waste including micro- and nanoplastics are associated with a plethora of problems.
