Discovery of plastic-degrading microbial strains isolated from the alpine and Arctic terrestrial plastisphere

Increasing plastic production and the release of some plastic in to the environment highlight the need for circular plastic economy. Microorganisms have a great potential to enable a more sustainable plastic economy by biodegradation and enzymatic recycling of polymers. Temperature is a crucial para...
