Recent Advances in Plastic Waste Biodegradation: Microorganisms, Enzymes, Invertebrates, and Evidence Standards

The uncontrolled and rapidly increasing use of synthetic polymers has created persistent environmental contamination. Millions of tonnes of plastic waste accumulate annually, and fragmentation generates microplastics that threaten terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and may affect human health. Biodegradation has theref...

In vitro selection and molecular characterization of indigenous yeasts from Litopenaeus vannamei with probiotic potential to prevent Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection

This study aimed to identify indigenous yeast strains from whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) exhibiting probiotic potential and antagonistic activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Samples were collected from shrimp intestines, sediment, and rearing water in shrimp ponds located in Banyuwangi, Jember, and Gresik...
