Isolation and identification of plastic degrading microorganism

Increased usage of plastic is leading to plastic pollution in the environment. Whilst plastics are believed to be non-biodegradable, it is believed that with long exposure to the environment, the microbiome in the environment may evolve to metabolise plastic. Many genera of microbes have been isolat...
