Ocean bacteria team up to break down biodegradable plastic

Biodegradable plastics could help alleviate the plastic waste crisis that is polluting the environment and harming our health. But how long plastics take to degrade and how environmental bacteria work together to break them down is still largely unknown. Understanding how plastics are broken down by microbes could help scientists create more sustainable materials and even new microbial recycling systems that convert plastic waste into useful materials. Now MIT researchers have taken an important first step toward understanding how bacteria work together to break down plastic. In a new paper published in Environmental Science & Technology, the researchers uncovered the role of individual...
