This project investigates the biodegradation of biodegradable plastics in marine environments, focusing on microbial interactions and the impact of plastic on ecosystems. It aims to quantify degradation rates and develop toxicity testing methods.
Plastic Marine Debris (PMD) is now considered a planetary boundary threat and the Plastic Cycle a biogeochemical cycle.
The impacts of single-use plastic litter in marine environments have prompted a search for greener alternatives such as the biodegradable/compostable plastics polyhydroxyalkanoates and polylactic acid already being used for consumer goods.
The diversity of microbes, their enzymes, and their role in influencing the rates of plastic biodegradation in nature remains poorly charact…
