Plastics, especially microplastics in soils, are considered a severe environmental issue
worldwide. However, globally, the main research focus is on microplastic pollution in the …

Rising level of micro-nano plastics (MNPs) in the natural ecosystem adversely impact the
health of the environment and living organisms globally. MNPs enter in to the agro …

It is now indisputable that plastics are ubiquitous and problematic in ecosystems globally.
Many suggestions have been made about the role that biofilms colonizing plastics in the …

Plastic debris have been shown to degenerate to particle sizes that can be transported in air,
water, and food. Small particles are documented to enter and exit our bodies and translocate …

Correlation and association analyses are one of the most widely used statistical methods in
research fields, including microbiome and integrative multiomics studies. Correlation and …

Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolyesters produced by microorganisms as
intracellular granules under nutrient stress. Due to non-toxic and biodegradable behavior …

Fungi are considered among the most efficient microbial degraders of plastics, as they
produce salient enzymes and can survive on recalcitrant compounds with limited nutrients …

This review explores biobased polymers for industrial applications, their end fate, and most
importantly, origin and key aspects enabling soil biodegradation. The physicochemical …

Polyethylene (PE) is the most abundant non-degradable plastic waste, posing a constant
and serious threat to the whole ecosystem. In the present study, the fungal community of …

Environmental microplastic (MP) is ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems
providing artificial habitats for microbes. Mechanisms of MP colonization, MP polymer …
