Polystyrene-colonizing bacteria are enriched for long-chain alkane degradation pathways.
One of the most promising strategies for the management of plastic waste is microbial biodegradation, but efficient degraders for many types of plastics are still lacking, including those for polystyrene (PS). Genomics has emerged as a powerful tool for mining environmental microbes that may have th...
