Tapping into fungal potential: Biodegradation of plastic and rubber by potent Fungi
Sabreen S. Ibrahim; Danny Ionescu; Hans-Peter Grossart
The presence of plastics in our environment is an increasing burden on nature and our health. The authors have now identified fungi isolated from freshwater ecosystems that can efficiently degrade plastic polymers made of polyurethane, polyethylene and tyre rubber. Contrary to previous assumptions, no pre-treatment of the plastics was necessary.
