Biological and synthetic biology strategies for polystyrene degradation: mechanisms, microbial advances, and circular economy perspectives
The biodegradation abilities of bacteria, fungi, and microbes associated with insects are examined and the methods used for degradation assessments are critically analyzed, differentiating between genuine biodegradation and mineralization versus surface oxidation, fragmentation, and reduction in polymer weight.
