Abstract
Municipal and agricultural wastes can be turned into useful products through biotechnology. A key challenge is breaking down tough-to-digest components, including plastics and plant biomass in the waste. These components often contain stable ring-shaped structures, such as polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate in plastics and lignin in plants. Some bacteria found in wastewater can break down these structures.…
