Inspired by nature: Microbial production, degradation and valorization of biodegradable bioplastics for life-cycle-engineered products.
Octavio García-Depraect,Sergio Bordel,Raquel Lebrero,Fernando Santos-Beneit,Rosa Aragão Börner,Tim Börner,Raúl Muñoz +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive overview of microbial-based processes involved in the complete lifecycle of bioplastics is presented, together with the challenges and future perspectives for the development of life-cycle-engineered biobased and biodegradable plastic products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of bioplastic using soy protein
TL;DR: Results suggested that the bioplastic consisting of soy protein possesses a biodegradable property, which may have the potential to be used as a biodesgradable material, such as agricultural materials, industrial parts, and disposable items.

TL;DR: In this article, a simulation of industrial composting conditions and the thickness of bioplastic products, ranging between 50 and 500µm, was conducted to study the effective degradation of marketable products under composting, and the results showed that MB film presented the highest degradation rate, 45'±'4.7% in terms of weight loss.

Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Antibiotic Resistance and Contamination by Antibiotic Resistance Determinants: The Two Ages in the Evolution of Resistance to Antimicrobials
TL;DR: The study of antibiotic resistance has been historically concentrated on the analysis of bacterial pathogens and on the consequences of acquiring resistance for human health, but the studies on antibiotic resistance should not be confined to clinical-associated ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradability of plastics.
TL;DR: In this review, microbial and enzymatic biodegradation of plastics and some factors that affect their biodegradability are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic waste in the marine environment: A review of sources, occurrence and effects.
TL;DR: The sources, occurrence, fate and effects of plastic waste in the marine environment are summarized, with land- and ocean-based sources being the major sources and domestic, industrial and fishing activities being the most important contributors.
