Journal ArticleDOI
Oil Production by Pyrolysis of Real Plastic Waste
Laura Fulgencio-Medrano,Sara García-Fernández,A. Asueta,A. Lopez-Urionabarrenechea,B. B. Perez-Martinez,José M. Arandes +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the influence of pre-treatments and temperature on the yield and quality of the liquid fraction were evaluated, and the effect of temperature on pyrolysis of this sample was studied in the range of 430-490 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ identification of environmental microorganisms with Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors introduce the principles, advantages, progress, and analytical methods of Raman spectroscopy applied in environmental microbiology, and summarize the applications of RSP combined with stable isotope probing (SIP), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), Raman-activated cell sorting, and machine learning in microbiological studies.

Fungal community dynamics during degradation of poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) film in two cultivated soils in Japan.
Kimiko Yamamoto-Tamura,Yuko Takada Hoshino,Shun Tsuboi,Chuan Huang,Ayaka W. Kishimoto-Mo,Yuka Sameshima-Yamashita,Hiroko Kitamoto +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that fungal community analyses using PCR-DGGE in combination with BP degraders isolation techniques enables the monitoring of BP films-degrading fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradative Activities of Fungal Strains Isolated from Terrestrial Environments in Korea
TL;DR: This is the first report on plastic biodegraders among Apiotrichum and Fusicolla species and the capability of T. pinophilus to degradeBiodegradable plastics and the accurate identification of P. lilacinum as a PLA biodegrader.
Journal ArticleDOI
LC-MS analysis of the degradation products of a sprayable, biodegradable poly(ester-urethane-urea)
Cuyler K. Borrowman,Cuyler K. Borrowman,Mark Bücking,Bernd Göckener,Raju Adhikari,Kei Saito,Antonio F. Patti +6 more
TL;DR: The identity of the degradation intermediates formed from the breakdown of a sprayable, biodegradable poly(ester-urethane-urea) was investigated using a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry system and suggests that those molecules were rapidly bio-assimilated by the soil microbial community.

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.
