A bacteria that “eats” plastic has been uncovered by the researchers. The quantity of plastic produced every year is more than 380 million tons. Only less than 5% of all plastic is recycled. Someday, Comamonas testosteroni could become nature’s plastic recycling Center. CT (Comamonas testosteroni) has a natural appetite for complex waste from plants & plastics. The metabolic mechanisms that enable CT to digest plastic have been deciphered by Northwestern University-led study. Novel biotechnology platforms could potentially be reached with the new information. The species of Comamonas are found nearly everywhere, including in soils & sewage sludge, Comamonas testosteroni first … Continue reading Nature’s Plastic Recycling Bacteria : How Comamonas Testosteroni Could Solve Our Plastic Crisis
