Abstract:The escalating accumulation of plastic waste in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems profoundly threatens environmental health and biodiversity while impacting human well-being. Recently, many microorganisms capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have been reported, primarily sourced from terrestrial soils and marine environments. Notably, the challenge of PET pollution in aquatic environments has remained a persistent research concern. In this study, we present the isolation and characterization … Show more
