Title A name given to the resource Biotechnological advancements in microplastics degradation in drinking water: Current insights and Future perspectives Subject The topic of the resource Analytical techniques; Biodegradation; Drinking water; Enzymes; Microplastics (MPs); Toxicity Description An account of the resource Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as persistent toxicants in the recent decade. MPs are reported to present in different samples such as soil, water, wastewater, and human samples including placenta, urine etc. Recent studies have reported its presence in drinking water. MPs presence in the drinking water is of concern to the research because MPs are associated with several toxicities in animal models including human. The presented review is focused on understanding MPs abundance, sources, detection, analysis, and biotechnological approaches for its degradation. The paper discusses MPs sources, distribution, and transport in drinking water. In addition, it discusses the MPs identification in drinking water, and advances in biotechnological, metagenomics, system, and synthetic biology approaches for MPs degradation. Moreover, it discusses critically the major challenges associated with the MPs degradation in drinking water. Heterogeneity in the MPs size and shape makes it its identification difficult in the drinking water. Most of the methods available for MPs analysis are based on the dried samples analysis. Development of MPs in liquid samples may bring a breakthrough in the research. 2024 The Authors Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Singhal B.; Kumar S.; Mehtab S.; Aggarwal U.; Kumar V.; Umesh M.; Chakraborty P.
