Zhili He,Terry J. Gentry,Terry J. Gentry,Christopher W. Schadt,Liyou Wu,Liyou Wu,Jost Liebich,Jost Liebich,Song C. Chong,Zhijian Huang,Zhijian Huang,Wei-Min Wu,Baohua Gu,Phil Jardine,Craig S. Criddle,Jizhong Zhou,Jizhong Zhou +16 more
TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive microarray currently available for studying biogeochemical processes and functional activities of microbial communities important to human health, agriculture, energy, global climate change, ecosystem management, and environmental cleanup and restoration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of polyethylene biodegradation by bacterial strains from the guts of plastic-eating waxworms.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated the presence of PE-degrading bacteria in the guts of waxworms and provided promising evidence for the biodegradation of PE in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation and Mineralization of Polystyrene by Plastic-Eating Mealworms: Part 2. Role of Gut Microorganisms
TL;DR: The results indicated the essential role of gut bacteria in PS biodegradation and mineralization, confirmed the presence of PS-degrading gut bacteria, and demonstrated the biodegrading of PS by mealworms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation and Mineralization of Polystyrene by Plastic-Eating Mealworms: Part 1. Chemical and Physical Characterization and Isotopic Tests
TL;DR: The discovery of the rapid biodegradation of PS in the larval gut reveals a new fate for plastic waste in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of Polyethylene and Plastic Mixtures in Mealworms (Larvae of Tenebrio molitor) and Effects on the Gut Microbiome.
