Biological degradation of polyethylene terephthalate by rhizobacteria
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022 Abstract In view of growing demand of plastic products, an enormous proportion of plastic waste causing the biological issue is produced. Plants in collaboration with their rhizobacteria partners are also exposed to these contaminants. The aim of the study is to determine the rhizobacterial ability to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
