Exploring biodegradative efficiency: a systematic review on the main microplastic-degrading bacteria

IntroductionMicroplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in the environment, causing damage to biota and human health. Due to their physicochemical characteristics, they become resistant particles to environmental degradation, leading to their accumulation in large quantities in the terrestrial ecosys...
