    Biodegradation of polypropylene plastics in vitro and natural condition by Streptomyces sp. isolated from plastic-contaminated sites
    (2024-08-01) Wichatham K.; Piyaviriyakul P.; Boontanon N.; Surinkul N.; Visvanathan C.; Fujii S.; Boontanon S.K.; Wichatham K.; Mahidol University
    Most plastic degradation studies are conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. The current study investigated the ability to degrade Polypropylene (PP) plastic by Streptomyces ardesiacus strain NBI0111 under both laboratory and natural... conditions. This strain exhibited the ability to degrade PP when cultured in BH medium and using PP plastics as carbon sources. After a 90-day incubation period, the weight loss of PP plastics reached 17.52 % (p < 0.05). The surface of the PP plastic showed

    Biodegradation of Di-2-Ethylhexyl Phthalate by Mangrove Sediment Microbiome Impacted by Chronic Plastic Waste
    (2025-02-01) Saeng-kla K.; Mhuantong W.; Termsaithong T.; Pinyakong O.; Sonthiphand P.; Saeng-kla K.; Mahidol University
    Plastic pollution through the leaching of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer, has led to the emergence of mangrove pollution. This study aimed to assess the DEHP removal efficiency of indigenous mangrove sediment... microbiomes and identify key DEHP degraders using microcosm construction and metagenomic analysis. During the 35-day incubation period, the indigenous mangrove sediment microbiome, affected by chronic plastic pollution, demonstrated a 99% degradation
