[HTML][HTML] Review on the current status of polymer degradation: a microbial approach
VM Pathak - Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2017 - Springer
Inertness and the indiscriminate use of synthetic polymers leading to increased land and
water pollution are of great concern. Plastic is the most useful synthetic polymer, employed …

Cellulose and hemicellulose decomposition by forest soil bacteria proceeds by the action of structurally variable enzymatic systems
Evidence shows that bacteria contribute actively to the decomposition of cellulose and
hemicellulose in forest soil; however, their role in this process is still unclear. Here we …
