Searching for new plastic-degrading enzymes from the plastisphere of alpine soils using a metagenomic mining approach.
Plastic materials, including microplastics, accumulate in all types of ecosystems, even in remote and cold environments such as the European Alps. This pollution poses a risk for the environment and humans and needs to be addressed. Using shotgun DNA metagenomics of soils collected in the eastern Sw...
