Plastic degradation by biological systems with re-utilization of the by-products could be a
future solution to the global threat of plastic waste accumulation. Here, we report that the …

Novel foods, including edible insects, are emerging because of their nutritional
characteristics and low environmental impacts and could represent a valid alternative …

Evidence for plastic degradation by mealworms has been reported. However, little is known
about the residual plastics derived from incomplete digestion during mealworm-mediated …

The problem of plastic prevalence and associated pollution has grasped the entire planet
drastically, putting all fields of science on the stake seeking remedies to this global havoc …

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)
reared using local agricultural by-products as an alternative feed for monogastric and …

The present study investigated the biodegradation of polystyrene (PS) plastic by mealworm
(Tenebrio molitor) on different diets followed by untargeted screening of larvae gut intestine …

This study aimed to identify the extent to which a diet of oatmeal and polymers affects the
development of mealworms, their microbiome, the biochemical activity of their digestive …

Superworm (larve of Zophobas atratus) could consume foams of expanded polystyrene
plastics. However, there is no sufficient understanding of the impact of microplastics on …

Microplastic contamination of freshwater ecosystems has become an increasing
environmental concern. To advance the hazard assessment of microplastics, we conducted …

To fully understand microplastics' impact on soil ecosystems, one must recognize soil
organisms as not just passively enduring their negative effects, but potentially contributing to …
