Abstract:
In this paper the biodegradation study of grafted copolymers of polystyrene (PS) and corn starch and poly(methacrylic acid) and corn starch in model river water is described. These copolymers were obtained in the presence of different amine activators. The synthesized copolymers and products of degradation were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Biodegradation was monitored by mass decrease and number of microorganisms by Koch?s method. Biodegradation of both copolymers advanced with time, poly(methacrylic acid)-graft-starch

Abstract:
Microplastics are an emerging class of recalcitrant organic pollutants that are of general scientific and public interest nowadays. It would be ideal to remove microplastics from the environment through biodegradation, as biodegradation is a highly ecological and economically acceptable approach. Unfortunately, the efficiency of biodegradation of conventional plastic polymers is low. The application of a suitable pretreatment could increase the efficiency of biodegradation. In this study, the applicability of UV-C/H2O2 and UV-C/S2O82− advanced oxidation processes as pretreatments for the biode

Abstract:
Polystyrene, known for its resistance to biodegradation, constitutes a significant source of environmental pollution. However, certain insects and associated microorganisms have been found to degrade it, using this material as a source of carbon and energy. Therefore, the objective of this review is to critically evaluate the characterization techniques used to analyze the biodegradation of polystyrene by insects and associated microorganisms. The aim is to identify the strengths and limitations of these techniques, as well as their contribution to the knowledge of polystyrene degradation in a

Polystyrene, a widely used thermoplastic, polluting the environment in the form of micro/nanoplastics. Though traditional methods are commonly employed for plastic management, microbial degradation remains a more promising and eco-friendly approach. The present study focused on the biodegradation of expanded polystyrene (EPS) using microbes isolated from plastic-contaminated sites and assessing the degradants for their industrial importance. An isolate, VITARK5, was able to grow well in Bushnell Haas agar containing EPS as the only carbon source and was chosen for biodegradation studies. With

Abstract:
Plastic waste worldwide is becoming a serious pollution problem for the planet. Various physical and chemical methods have been tested in attempts to remove plastic dumps. However, these have usually resulted in secondary pollution issues. Recently, the biodegradation of plastic by fungal and bacterial strains has been spotlighted as a promising solution to remove plastic wastes without generating secondary pollution. We have previously reported that a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from the gut of a superworm is capable of biodegrading polystyrene (PS) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).

Galleria mellonella is a lepidopteran whose larval stage has shown the ability to degrade polystyrene (PS), one of the most recalcitrant plastics to biodegradation. In the present study, we fed G. mellonella larvae with PS for 54 days and determined candidate enzymes for its degradation. We first confirmed the biodegradation of PS by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy- Attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and then identified candidate enzymes in the larval gut by proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Abstract:
Polystyrene (PS) is an extremely stable polymer with a relatively high molecular weight and a strong hydrophobic character that makes it highly resistant to biodegradation. In this study, PS was subjected to biodegradation tests by Tenebrio Molitor (T. Molitor) and Zophobas Morio (Z. Morio) larvae. Specifically, six different experimental diets were compared: (i) T. Molitor fed with bran; (ii) T. Molitor fed only PS; (iii) T. Molitor fed only PS treated with H2O2; (iv) Z. Morio fed with bran; (v) Z. Morio fed only PS; and (vi) Z.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is among the most demanded plastic commodities due to its attractive properties of lightness and durability. Such desirable characteristics present, however, an environmental threat, as it is easily transported until it reaches the ocean, where it is likely to be fragmented into microplastics. Despite the efforts for EPS waste management, sustainable and efficient solutions are needed. Biotechnology-based solutions have been investigated for their potential. Herein, Zalerion maritimum and Nia vibrissa were screened for their potential in the biodegradation of EPS, ba

Abstract:
Environmental pollution due to plastic is becoming a concentration, drawing concern throughout the world. The wax moth larvae possess the potential for biodegradation of different types of plastic with or without the involvement of the intestinal microbiome in the larval gut. Similarly, mealworms and Tenebrio molitor have been reported to cause the degradation of polyethene and polystyrene mixtures. According to scientific literature, superworms such as Zophobas atratus can cause polystyrene degradation. The plastic is biodegradable with many bacterial genera, including Pseudomonas, Ralstonia,

Abstract:
Plastics that are degraded by microbial or enzymatic activity are known as biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics are an alternative to conventional plastics that are chemically synthesized and are responsible for causing environmental pollution due to unwanted accumulation occurring via disposal practices. There was a serious need to introduce biodegradable plastics in the market since the level of plastic pollution in the air, water, and soil has reached its threshold values. The non-biodegradable plastics are increasingly accumulating in the environment, which can be a threat to the
