Academic Press Enzymatic Plastic Degradation Volume 648

Enzymatic Plastic Degradation, Volume 648, is a specialized addition to the Methods in Enzymology series by Academic Press. This volume provides a deep look into the biological processes used to address plastic pollution. It features research and insights from leading experts in the field, making it a vital resource for scientists and researchers working on environmental solutions. The text covers essential topics such as evaluating environmental degradation and assessing microplastic pollution in oceans and freshwater systems. Readers can explore the use of microbial consortia from different environments to aid in degradation processes. It also examines the role of filamentous fungi in attacking synthetic polymers through biological Fenton chemistry and the synthesis of radioactive-labeled nanoplastics. This volume serves as a technical guide for those studying biochemistry and the biological methods used to combat synthetic polymer accumulation in the natural world.
