As the environmental costs of petroleum-based plastics mount, researchers are exploring renewable and biodegradable alternatives that are less harmful to ecosystems. One such alternative gaining ...
Algae is a 'little vacuum' for microplastics. Midwest scientists think it could clean up the problem
University of Missouri professor Susie Dai works with lab-grown algae. She is the co-author of a new research study laying out how it can help remove microplastics from water. Tiny shards of plastic ...
Engineered algae are a bioremediation triple threat, synergizing microplastic removal, upcycling and wastewater nutrient utilization to combat environmental contamination. By genetically engineering ...
