The biodegradation of natural rubber by microbial species represents a promising, environmentally sustainable approach to managing waste from industrial and consumer rubber products. Natural ...

“Microbial biodegradation of plastics is a promising strategy to depolymerize petroleum-based plastics into monomers or mineralize them into carbon dioxide and water,” the researchers said in ...

Researches microbial biodegradation of acylanilide herbicides. Primary research interests are in the physiology of microorganisms in either natural or man-made ecosystems. Research projects in the ...

and other bacteria can effectively convert TCE and perchlorate to benign or less toxic end products of microbial biodegradation, (e.g., ethene). The study appears in the current issue of the ...

This strategy is known as bioremediation. Bioremediation is essentially the biodegradation of toxic waste using microbes. The microbial cleanup of toxic waste is relatively new; however ...

Here, we discuss how the microbial biodegradation of plastic waste will be fundamental in addressing the increasingly pressing issue of plastic pollution. Each year, our increasing need for ...

They then monitored how the microbial community responded to the addition of crude oil and spill-treating agents. The researchers observed an initial delay in oil biodegradation with the addition ...

The discovery of novel biosynthesis pathways and biodegradation capabilities in these microbial communities can have far-reaching implications for developing new drugs, biotechnological processes ...
