“Exploring Microbial Approaches to Polymer Biodegradation: Trends and Innovations”

Abstract

There is a growing concern in the world use synthetic polymers, especially because the products produced from them are non-biodegradable and have greatly polluted the environment. Biodegradation of polymers by microbes has lately been postulated as the best environmentally friendly method to tackle this issue. This review aims at reviewing the recent developments in the bio degradation of polymers using microorganisms The review traces the metabolic pathways, enzymatic systems and novel techniques that have been used in the degradation of polymers including plastics. Also, the review gives possible trends, evolving issues, and probable biotechnological uses of polymers for the environmentally sound disposal of polymer wastes.
