TLDR
Eight bacterial strains were isolated from mangrove sediment in Peninsular Malaysia to mitigate the environmental impact of microplastics and develop a clean-up option and the designated isolates degraded the microplastic material and exhibited potential for remediation ofmicroplastic-contaminated environment.
