A Deep-Sea Bacterium Is Capable of Degrading Polyurethane
ABSTRACT Plastic wastes have been recognized as the most common and durable marine contaminants, which are not only found in the shallow water, but also on the sea floor. However, whether deep-sea microorganisms have evolved the capability of degrading plastic remains elusive. In this study, a deep-...
