TL;DR: The sources and global distribution of microplastics in the environment, the fate and impact on marine biota, especially the food chain are described and the control measures discussed are those mapped out by both national and international environmental organizations for combating the impact from microplastic pollution.

TL;DR: PP biodegradation was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses, which revealed structural and morphological changes in the PP microplastics with microbial treatment, and showed that the isolates can colonise, modify and utilise PPmicroplastics as carbon source.

TL;DR: Eight bacterial strains were isolated from mangrove sediment in Peninsular Malaysia to mitigate the environmental impact of microplastics and develop a clean-up option and the designated isolates degraded the microplastic material and exhibited potential for remediation ofmicroplastic-contaminated environment.

TL;DR: The use of hydrated potato flour in bread making is advantageous due to increased nutritional value, higher bread yield, and reduced rate of staling.

TL;DR: In this article, the mycoremediative capacity of filamentous fungi consortia in landfill heavy metal contaminated soil was determined using radial growth diameter technique, which was used for the identification of isolates using morphological and molecular techniques.
