While several research groups are utilizing purified enzymes to break down postconsumer PET the monomers TPA and ethylene glycol produce new products, here, we present a group of five soil bacteria in culture that able partially degrade this polymer. To date, mixed Pseudomonas spp. Bacillus biodegradation has not been described, work highlights possibility using bacterial consortia biodegrade or potentially biorecycle plastic waste.
The global utilization of single-use, non-biodegradable plastics, such as bottles made polyethylene terephthalate (PET), has contributed to catastrophic levels plastic pollution. Fortunately, microbial communities are adapting assimilate waste. Previously, our work showed a full consortium five bacteria capable synergistically degrading PET. Using omics approaches, we identified the key genes implicated in PET degradation within consortium’s pangenome and transcriptome. This analysis led...
Background: Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is made up of complex mixtures particulate matter, gases and volatile compounds. However, the effects TRAP on cardiopulmonary system in most animal studies have been tested using acute exposure to singular pollutants. The molecular mechanisms animals that are chronically exposed unmodified as a whole yet be studied. Additionally, sex-dependent toxicity has rarely evaluated. Objectives: This study sought assess effect chronic unmodified,...
