Polyethylene degradation and assimilation by the marine yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. [PDF]
ISME Commun, 2023 Abstract Ocean plastic pollution is a severe environmental problem but most of the plastic that has been released to the ocean since the 1950s is unaccounted for. Although fungal degradation of marine plastics has been suggested as a potential sink mechanism, unambiguous proof of plastic degradation by marine fungi, or other microbes, is
