This study shows that metabolic redundancy in the β-oxidation pathway enables efficient microbial assimilation of oxidized polyethylene leachates.

This study shows that type IV pili in marine cyanobacteria increase phage encounter, leading to higher viral infection rates and competitive disadvantage in mixed populations.

This paper introduces an airbrushing technique to screen polyester biodegradation potential, revealing 1,000-fold higher activity in terrestrial than marine environments.
