Construction of an efficient polystyrene-degrading microbial consortium based on degrading and non-degrading bacteria predominant in biofilms of marine plastic debris

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has caused significant pollution in marine environments, with potential EPS-degrading bacteria identified on long-term floating EPS biofilms. However, studies on bacterial interactions and consortium reconstruction based on in-situ bacterial diversity remain limited. Marin...
