Plastics have become an essential part of life. When it enters the environment, it migrates
and breaks down to form smaller size fragments, which are called microplastics (MPs) …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants persisting almost everywhere in the
environment. With the increase in anthropogenic activities, MP accumulation is increasing …

Background Many studies have investigated how nanoplastics (NPs) exposure mediates
nerve and intestinal toxicity through a dysregulated brain-gut axis interaction, but there are …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a common class of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) that are widely distributed in various environments and pose significant …

The presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in soils is becoming pervasive in
most agroecosystems. The recent estimates suggest that the soil burden of MNPs in the …

Polystyrene (PS) is frequently used in the plastics industry. However, its structural stability
and difficulty to break down lead to an abundance of plastic waste in the environment …

Faced with the escalating challenge of global plastic pollution, this study specifically
addresses the research gap in the biodegradation of polystyrene (PS). A PS-degrading …

Microbial remediation presents a promising and sustainable approach for combating
environmental pollutants. The genus Exiguobacterium thrives in diverse habitats, including …

Continuous disposal of plastic waste and its accretion in the environment is the biggest
challenge the world has ever faced. Breaking its terrestrial bounds, plastic waste has now …

The use of algicidal bacteria has gained prominence as natural solution to control the
worrying increase of harmful algal blooms worldwide. However, although cyanobacterial …
