Plastics have become part of our daily lives, so that they are indispensable. After all, plastic seems to be the perfect package food because it is waterproof and flexible. This makes plastic contamination a big problem, but researchers have discovered a bacterium that can be eaten as a food in a common plastic (the material used in clothing, bottles, and food packaging) for this purpose.

This food plastic bacteria was found in the debris field of a Japanese recycling plant. The species was called Ideonella sakaiensis, and its homonym was taken from the Japanese city of Bengbu where it was found. According to Yoshida Yoshida, a microbiologist at Kyoto University, “This is the most unique thing. This kind of bacteria can degrade PET and then become its own body from PET. Several enzymes are able to reduce the plastic polymer into small pieces. The new bacteria can literally reduce plastic in any landfill, with carbon dioxide and water as by-products.Some similar ideas to use certain microorganisms in eroding oil spills or at least containing these contents, it will be some time later In order to use the bacteria efficiently.
