Nature is doing its own repairing with growth of plastic eating enzymes

Dec

Scientists at the Chalmers University in Sweden that one in every four organisms in the microbiomes they studied carries a protein sequence for plastic-degrading enzymes, according to an article published December 16 2021 in The Nerdist.com.

Scientists identified locations where these plastic degrading microbiomes are growing in number alongside plastic pollution in the oceans. As to whether or not this development is keeping up with plastic pollution growth is still to be determined.
