CUSB researcher discovers bacterium capable of degrading plastic
A CUSB researcher has identified a novel bacterium, Metabacillus neibensis, capable of degrading medium-weight plastic at nearly double the rate of previously known microbes. This extremophile breaks down plastic into smaller components for its own energy, offering a significant advancement in tackling India's massive plastic waste problem. The discovery holds promise for a cleaner environment.
