Title A name given to the resource Microbial engineering strategies for synthetic microplastics clean up: A review on recent approaches Subject The topic of the resource Biotechnology approaches; Enzyme engineering; Microbial engineering; Microplastic; Microplastic removal; Sources of microplastics Description An account of the resource Microplastics are the small fragments of the plastic molecules which find their applications in various routine products such as beauty products. Later, it was realized that it has several toxic effects on marine and terrestrial organisms. This review is an approach in understanding the microplastics, their origin, dispersal in the aquatic system, their biodegradation and factors affecting biodegradation. In addition, the paper discusses the major engineering approaches applied in microbial biotechnology. Specifically, it reviews microbial genetic engineering, such as PET-ase engineering, MHET-ase engineering, and immobilization approaches. Moreover, the major challenges associated with the plastic removal are presented by evaluating the recent reports available. 2022 Elsevier B.V.
