Plastic pollution is one of the biggest current global threats to environment given that petroleum-based plastic recalcitrant and can stay in for decades, even centuries, depending on specific type. Since less than 10% all made recycled, other solutions (such as incineration or landfill storage) are pollutant methods, new, environmentally friendly needed. In this regard, latest biotechnological discovery topic capability insect larvae use polymers carbon feedstock. This present review describes most relevant information capable degrading plastic, mainly Galleria mellonella (Fabricius, 1798), Tenebrio molitor (Linnaeus, 1758), Zophobas atratus 1776), also adds new about commonly studied “plastivore” insects such termites. covers literature from very first work describing degradation by published 2014 way research available (till June 2024), focusing identification a wide variety plastic-degrading microorganisms isolated guts understanding potential molecular mechanisms take place. It discoveries, which include novel enzymes waxworm saliva.

Marine plastispheres represent dynamic microhabitats where microorganisms colonise plastic debris and interact. Metaproteomics has provided novel insights into the metabolic processes within these communities; however, early interactions driving plastisphere formation remain unclear. This study utilised metaproteomic metagenomic approaches to explore on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) over 3 (D3) 7 (D7) days, focusing microbial diversity, activity biofilm development. In total, 2948 proteins were analysed, revealing dominant proteomes from Pseudomonas Marinomonas, with near-complete metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). dominated at D3, whilst D7, along Acinetobacter, Vibrio other genera became more prevalent. Marinomonas showed high expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) suppression proteins, associated oxidative stress regulation, granule formation, alternative carbon utilisation enzymes, also indicated nutrient limitations. Interestingly, 13 alkanes xenobiotic degradation enzymes expressed by five genera. The toxins, several type VI secretion system (TVISS) their competitive advantage against taxa. Upregulated pathways relating substrate transport suggested enhanced cross-feeding diverse community. These enhance our understanding ecology its potential for biotechnological applications.

Enzymatic degradation of plastics is a sustainable approach to address the growing issue plastic accumulation. Here, we demonstrate aliphatic polyesters using enzyme-displaying bacterial spores and fabrication self-degradable spore-containing plastics. The proceeds without nutrient-dependent spore germination into living cells. Engineered completely degrade small molecules, retain activity through multiple cycles, regain full sporulation. We also found that interplay between glass transition temperature melting polyester substrates affects heterogeneous biocatalytic by engineered spores. Directly incorporating results in robust materials are degradable. Our study offers straightforward degradation.

Plastic, a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, has become global necessity, with annual production exceeding 300 million tons. However, the accumulation synthetic polymers in environment poses pressing challenge. To address this urgent issue, fungi have emerged as potential agents for plastic degradation. In previous manuscript, 'A Review Fungi That Degrade Plastic', we explored taxonomic placement plastic-degrading across three main phyla: Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota. review, built upon that foundation aimed to further explore relationships these comprehensive detailed manner, leaving no stone unturned. Moreover, linked metabolic activity enzyme their taxonomy summarized phylogenetic tree table on presented here. Microbial enzymes are key players polymer degradation, operating intra-cellularly extra-cellularly. Fungi, one well-studied groups microbes respect at forefront addressing issue accumulation. Their unique ability hydrolyze produce wide range specific is testament potential. gather synthesize information concerning pathways involved degradation plastics. The manuscript explores diverse can major metabolism. We provide listing 14 fungal (Esterase, Cutinase, Laccase, Peroxidases, Manganese peroxidase, Lignin Oxidoreductases, Urease, Protease, Lipase, Polyesterase, Dehydrogenase, Serine hydrolase, PETase) alongside relevant known enzymes. Furthermore, integrate fungi's enzyme-producing capabilities phylogeny. Taxonomic investigations pinpointed primary classes (Eurotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes (Ascomycota), Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota)) significant degraders vital mentioned earlier. This paper provides foundational resource recognizing involvement biodegradation polymers. It will ultimately advance biotechnology efforts natural environments.
