The problem of global plastic pollution is very common.
The new study, recently published in the scientific journal mBIO, analyzed environmental DNA samples from hundreds of locations around the world
"Using our model, we found a variety of evidence that supports the fact that the plastic degradation potential of the global microbial community is closely related to the measured value of environmental plastic pollution, which is an important proof of how the environment responds to the pressure we exert
There are more enzymes in the most polluted areas
In other words, the number and diversity of plastic degrading enzymes are increasing, which is a direct response to the local level of plastic pollution
"At present, we know very little about these plastic degrading enzymes.
Confronting the global plastic crisis has potential value
Approximately 8 million tons of plastic flows into the world's oceans every year
"The next step will be to test the most promising candidate enzymes in the laboratory to closely study their performance and plastic degradation rate
