Plastics are recalcitrant and inert to degrade, and destabilization leads to accumulate in the
terrestrial and marine ecosystems; need for the development of strategies for reducing these …

Microbes mediate global biogeochemical cycles through their metabolism, and all metabolic
processes begin with the interaction between the microbial cell wall or membrane and the …
