New Discovery: Soil Bacterial Enzyme capable of Degrading Plastics and Antibiotics
Biologists studying how bacteria break down a new generation of plant-based bioplastics (long-chain aliphatic polyesters) have discovered an enzyme that can break down both plastics and antibiotics. SEM images of LCAP films incubated in pristine forest soil for over 1 year. The arrow in panel (d) points to an object within the cavity that may [...]
