Abstract Plastic pollution is a significant environmental challenge of contemporary age. Polystyrene (PS), among the most commonly used plastic polymers worldwide, highly durable and difficult to degrade. Despite various disposal strategies, PS continues impact biodiversity, human health, ecosystems. Recently, scientific community has focused on potential role microorganisms for biodegradation, particularly those from gut plastivorous insects. In previous study, three bacterial strains, each representing distinct taxonomic group ( Klebsiella , Pseudomonas Stenotrophomonas ), were isolated Alphitobius diaperinus larvae after rearing diet enriched in medium with as sole carbon source. The sp. strain, here identified S. indicatrix showed greatest degradation. present study investigates genetic profile newly strain DAI2m/c through genome sequencing, identify enzyme-encoding genes involved intracellular metabolic pathways responsible biodegradation styrene monomer. Our findings indicate that encodes all enzymes required one two recognized degradation pathways, suggesting its ability convert into byproducts are then utilized cellular energy production.

Emerging Biochemical Conversion for Plastic Waste Management: A Review

Molecules, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 30(6), С. 1255 - 1255

Опубликована: Март 11, 2025

In recent years, vast amounts of plastic waste have been released into the environment worldwide, posing a severe threat to human health and ecosystems. Despite partial success traditional management technologies, their limitations underscore need for innovative approaches. This review provides comprehensive overview advancements in chemical biological technologies converting utilizing waste. Key topics include technical parameters, characteristics, processes, reaction mechanisms underlying these emerging technologies. Additionally, highlights importance conducting economic analyses life cycle assessments offering valuable insights establishing robust foundation future research. By leveraging literature from last five this explores approaches, such as hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis, alcoholysis, ammonolysis, pyrolysis, photolysis, which break down high-molecular-weight macromolecules oligomers or small molecules by cracking depolymerizing specific groups within molecules. It also examines methods, including microbial enzymatic degradation, employs microorganisms enzymes convert through degradation assimilation mechanisms. The concludes discussing research directions focused on addressing technological, economic, scalability challenges with strong commitment promoting sustainable solutions achieving lasting environmental impact.
