Non-Hydrolyzable Plastics - An Interdisciplinary Look at Plastic Bio-Oxidation

Hedda Inderthal et al.

Summary: Enzymatic plastic conversion is seen as a potential alternative to traditional plastic waste management, with a focus on biodegradable plastics such as polyesters. However, there are still challenges in applying enzymatic degradation to other commercial plastics. Addressing extensive knowledge gaps and understanding the crucial impact of physicochemical factors on reactions in less well-studied plastic types are essential for expanding the application of enzymatic degradation.

Biodegradation of expanded polystyrene and low-density polyethylene foams in larvae of Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae): Broad versus limited extent depolymerization and microbe-dependence versus independence

Li Yang et al.

Summary: Yellow mealworms are capable of biodegrading polystyrene and low-density polyethylene, forming new oxygen-containing functional groups and causing changes in physical and chemical properties. The biodegradation of PS is gut microbe-dependent, while LDPE biodegradation is less dependent on gut microbes. Gut microbial community significantly shift under different dietary conditions associated with the biodegradation of EPS and LDPE.

Enhanced Bioavailability and Microbial Biodegradation of Polystyrene in an Enrichment Derived from the Gut Microbiome of Tenebrio molitor (Mealworm Larvae)

Anja Malawi Brandon et al.

Summary: The mealworm and its gut microbiome play important roles in accelerating plastic biodegradation by secreting emulsifying factors and other substances. Cultivating plastic-degrading microbial enrichments can achieve higher degradation rates, providing new insights for future investigations into cultivating plastic-degrading microorganisms.

Potential for and Distribution of Enzymatic Biodegradation of Polystyrene by Environmental Microorganisms

Liyuan Hou et al.

Summary: This study identified microbial species capable of degrading PS and predicted target PS-degrading enzymes. Enzymes such as cytochrome P4500s, alkane hydroxylases, and monooxygenases are considered top potential candidates for degrading PS, with the potential to break C-C bonds and oxidize aromatic compounds generated from PS decomposition. These enzymes are distributed in various bacterial phyla, suggesting broad potential for PS biodegradation in different environments.

Polystyrene Biodegradation by Tenebrio molitor Larvae: Identification of Generated Substances Using a GC-MS Untargeted Screening Method

Emmanouil Tsochatzis et al.

Summary: A GC-MS method was used to screen and evaluate the chemical compounds generated during the biodegradation of polystyrene (PS) with Tenebrio molitor larvae, identifying various compounds including trimers, volatiles, and non-intentionally added substances. Bioactive molecules like fatty acids and amides were also identified in the biomass of the insects, suggesting enzymatic and biochemical activity during the degradation process. The overall degradation rate of PS was found to be 13%, highlighting the potential of biorecycling with these insects.

Phylogenetic Distribution of Plastic-Degrading Microorganisms

Victor Gambarini et al.

Summary: The number of reported plastic-degrading microorganisms is increasing rapidly, allowing for exploration of plastic-degrading traits conservation and distribution across diverse microbial classifications. Strong evidence was found for the degradation of the synthetic polymer polylactic acid (PLA), and related microbial species are phylogenetically conserved. A total of 16,170 putative plastic degradation orthologs were identified in microbial genomes, showcasing vast potential for further research. The comprehensive database and interactive phylogenetic tree created will aid in understanding genetic diversity and evolution of microbial plastic-degrading capabilities.

Confirmation of biodegradation of low-density polyethylene in dark- versus yellow- mealworms (larvae of Tenebrio obscurus versus Tenebrio molitor) via. gut microbe-independent depolymerization

Shan-Shan Yang et al.

Summary: The larvae of Tenebrio obscurus and Tenebrio molitor demonstrated similar capacity for degrading LDPE foams, showing a broad depolymerization pattern with a digestion rate of nearly 40% to CO2. Antibiotic suppression of gut microbes did not halt depolymerization, indicating that LDPE biodegradation in T. obscurus was independent of gut microbes. High-throughput sequencing revealed significant shifts in the gut microbial community during LDPE feeding in both Tenebrio species.

Response of the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) gut microbiome to diet shifts during polystyrene and polyethylene biodegradation

Yu Lou et al.

Summary: The study found that the yellow mealworms supplemented with bran had higher degradation efficiency of polystyrene and low density polyethylene, and the addition of bran and plastic mixture in the diet contributed to the survival and growth of the mealworms. The gut microbiome of the mealworms was closely associated with the diet type, playing an important role in the oxidation process and degradation of plastics.
