Promoting bacterial colonization and biofilm formation for enhanced biodegradation of low-density polyethylene microplastics

Promoting bacterial colonization and biofilm formation for enhanced biodegradation of low-density polyethylene microplastics

Abstract The accumulation of plastic waste presents a significant worldwide environmental challenge. This study aimed to isolate polyethylene-degrading bacteria from marine samples containing plastic waste. Four culturable bacterial isolates: Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecali...
