Can wastewater bacteria provide solutions to the plastics problem? Just out today new Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering study unraveling how #wastewater Comamonas #bacteria break down PET #plastics into #nanoplastics and ultimately digestible #carbons. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out Northwestern Engineering feature on Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering research published yesterday in Environmental Science & Technology Journals on #plastic-eating enzymes identified in a #wastewater #bacterium.

Comamonas testosteroni can digest PET plastic, and a key enzyme responsible for breaking down the plastic materials has been identified by the Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering and could be optimized to help remove plastics from the environment! futurism.com/the-byte/bacte…


Article in Chicago Sun Times @SunTimes covers Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering research on plastic-eating #bacteria, #plastic pollution, discussions with Prof Aristilde as a #Haitian-American scholar navigating life inside and outside of #academia.

Check out live interview WGN TV News #Chicago on the 5'Oclock news today. We discussed the plastic problem and Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering research on figuring out how microbes in #nature can feed on #plastics...a slow process that could be engineered to benefit #society. youtube.com/watch?v=c_NSJ3…
