Scientists in Germany have identified a type of fungi that is capable of breaking down synthetic plastics, offering a potential new weapon in the global fight against plastic pollution.
A team at the Leibniz Universitรคt Hannover Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries in Berlin found that certain microfungi can survive exclusively on plastics, degrading them into simpler forms.
Researchers observed that microfungi in Lake Stechlin in northeastern Germany can thrive on synthetic polymers without any other carbon source.
โThe most surprising finding of our work is that our fungi could exclusively grow on some of the synthetic polymers and even form biomass,โ Hans-Peter Grossart, the lead researcher, told Reuters.
This is A great Discovery in the field of Science !
