Scientists discovered that bacteria commonly found in wastewater can break down plastic to turn it into a food source, a ...

The discovery of plastic-eating bacteria has also given scientists hope that we might find an actual solution to the problem ...

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute have developed a biodegradable composite material that could play a significant role in ...

However, researchers have come up with a sci-fi like solution. By incorporating spores of plastic-eating bacteria they've developed a plastic that can self-destruct. The spores remain dormant ...

Scientists might have found an unlikely solution to the trash problem choking our planet — a plastic-eating insect ... helped shed light on their gut bacteria. The worms were fed either plastic ...

A plastic-eating insect may help solve the trash problem that has choked the Earth for a long time, scientists have concluded in a new study.

We are conducting further investigation to confirm this possibility. Our study also examined the insect's gut bacteria. We wanted to identify the bacterial communities that may support the plastic ...

Beyond being a home for microbes, the plastisphere can disrupt the natural balance of ocean life at the microscopic level.
