Plastic pollution is an ever-escalating issue with detrimental effects on both the environment and human health. breaks down into smaller pieces, depending size they are called macroplastics, microplastics (MPs), nanoplastics (NPs). Some of these particles can easily enter food chain causing toxicity to many plants animals. The extensive use synthetic polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), terephthalate (PET) poses substantial environmental concerns due their degradation-resistant characteristics. One ways microorganisms address this by producing enzymes. This review examines recent advancements in enzymatic degradation commercial-grade pure polymers, including effectiveness enzymes laccases, proteases, cutinases, PETase, MHETase, governing mechanisms across various plastic categories. Bioinformatic tools multi-omics, molecular docking, enzyme mining particularly useful identifying unconventional biocatalysts plastic-degrading microbes a culture-independent manner. Furthermore, techniques enhance catalytic efficiency degrading (PDEs) using modern approaches protein engineering, mutations, chimeric fusion, etc. have also been reviewed. accentuates pivotal role microbial mitigating pollution, associated challenges, suitable prospects achieve closed-loop recycling future.

The global plastic waste crisis has triggered the development of novel methods for removal recalcitrant polymers from environment. Biotechnological approaches have received particular attention due to their potential enabling sustainable, low-intensity bioprocesses which could also be interfaced with microbial upcycling pathways support emerging circular bioeconomy. However, low biodegradation efficiency solid materials remains a bottleneck, especially at mesophilic conditions required one-pot degradation and upcycling. A promising strategy used in nature address this is localisation plastic-degrading microbes surface via biofilm-mediated association. This review highlights progress opportunities leveraging these naturally occurring mechanisms biofilm formation other cell-surface adhesion biotechnologies co-localise engineered cells surfaces. We further discuss examples combining extracellular expression enzymes accelerate degradation. Additionally, we topic context nano- microplastics bioremediation wastewater finally propose future research directions nascent field.
