Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the highest loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes physicochemical biological characteristics soil including properties, microbial communities, plants, as well potential or affirmed correlations among them. Therefore, understanding risks effects MPs, particularly within soil-plant-microbe context is challenging subject substantial scientific inquiry. This comprehensive review focused on rhizosphere plant-microbe symbiotic relationships, implications for plant growth ecosystem-level nutrient fluxes. alter community composition, enzymatic activities rhizosphere, influencing availability uptake by plants. These can disrupt interactions, such mycorrhizal associations nitrogen-fixing symbioses, ultimately impacting cycling nutrients ecosystems. Furthermore, we elaborate relationships carrying Future research directions solutions microplastics menace acknowledging combined other contaminants, advanced technologies identification quantification, engineering remediation. knowledge MPs-induced impacts interactions essential generate mitigating actions environmental management conservation.

Advances in microbial exoenzymes bioengineering for improvement of bioplastics degradation

Chemosphere, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 355, С. 141749 - 141749

Опубликована: Март 21, 2024

Plastic pollution has become a major global concern, posing numerous challenges for the environment and wildlife. Most conventional ways of plastics degradation are inefficient cause great damage to ecosystems. The development biodegradable offers promising solution waste management. These designed break down under various conditions, opening up new possibilities mitigate negative impact traditional plastics. Microbes, including bacteria fungi, play crucial role in bioplastics by producing secreting extracellular enzymes, such as cutinase, lipases, proteases. However, these microbial enzymes sensitive extreme environmental temperature acidity, affecting their functions stability. To address challenges, scientists have employed protein engineering immobilization techniques enhance enzyme stability predict structures. Strategies improving substrate interaction, increasing thermostability, reinforcing bonding between active site substrate, refining activity being utilized boost functionality. Recently, bioengineering through gene cloning expression potential microorganisms, revolutionized biodegradation bioplastics. This review aimed discuss most recent strategies modifying bioplastic-degrading terms functionality, thermostability enhancement, binding site, with other improvement surface action. Additionally, discovered exoenzymes metagenomics were emphasized.
