Polystyrene Degradation by <i>Exiguobacterium</i> sp. RIT 594: Preliminary Evidence for a Pathway Containing an Atypical Oxygenase

The widespread use of plastics has led to their increasing presence in the environment and subsequent pollution. Some microorganisms degrade plastics in natural ecosystems and the associated metabolic pathways can be studied to understand the degradation mechanisms. Polystyrene (PS) is one of the mo...
