Coexistence of specialist and generalist species within mixed plastic derivative-utilizing microbial communities

Abstract Background Plastic-degrading microbial isolates offer great potential to degrade, transform, and upcycle plastic waste. Tandem chemical and biological processing of plastic wastes has been shown to substantially increase the rates of plastic degradation; however, the focus of this work has...
