The plastisphere, a unique microbial biofilm community colonizing plastic debris and microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments, has attracted increasing attention owing to its ecological public health implications. This review consolidates current state of knowledge on freshwater focussing biodiversity, assembly, interactions with environmental factors. Current biomolecular approaches revealed variety prokaryotic eukaryotic taxa associated surfaces. Despite their importance, the presence potentially pathogenic bacteria mobile genetic elements (i.e., antibiotic resistance genes) raises concerns for ecosystem human health. However, extent these risks implications remain unclear. Advanced sequencing technologies are promising elucidating functions particularly biodegradation processes. Overall, this emphasizes need comprehensive studies understand plastisphere dynamics support effective management strategies mitigate impact pollution resources.

Plastics are indispensable to modern life, but their widespread use has created an environmental crisis due inefficient waste management. Mixed plastic waste, comprising diverse polymers, presents significant recycling challenges the high costs of sorting and processing, leading ecosystem accumulation harmful by-product generation. This study addresses this issue by engineering a synthetic bacterial consortium (SBC) designed degrade mixed monomers. The pairs Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, which uses ethylene glycol (EG), monomer derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), as carbon source, with Pseudomonas putida KT2440, metabolizes hexamethylenediamine (HD), nylon-6,6, nitrogen source. Adaptive evolution SBC revealed novel metabolic interaction where P. developed ability both EG HD, while E. played critical role in degrading glycolate, mitigating its toxicity. evolved cross-feeding pattern enhanced biomass production, efficiency, community stability compared monocultures. consortium’s performance was validated through flux balance analysis (FBA), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), growth assays. These findings highlight potential SBCs addressing complex offering promising avenue for sustainable bioremediation advancing future polymer degradation strategies.

The exposure of microorganisms to conventional plastics is a relatively recent occurrence, affording limited time for evolutionary adaptation. As part the EU-funded project BioICEP, this study delves into plastic degradation potential isolated from sites with prolonged pollution, such as plastic-polluted forests, biopolymer-contaminated soil, oil-contaminated municipal landfill, but also distinctive soil sample pieces buried three decades ago. Additionally, samples Arthropoda species were investigated. In total, 150 strains and screened ability use plastic-related substrates (Impranil dispersions, polyethylene terephthalate, terephthalic acid, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate). Twenty isolates selected based on their grow various identified Streptomyces, Bacillus, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas spp. Morphological features recorded, 16S rRNA sequence was employed construct phylogenetic tree. Subsequent assessments unveiled that 5 out 20 displayed capability produce polyhydroxyalkanoates, utilizing pre-treated post-consumer PET samples. With Priestia sp.
