“…The removal of microplastic debris from freshwater habitats via microbial bioremediation is a promising strategy. A variety of contaminants, including plastics, can be broken down and degraded by microbes (Anand et al, 2023). Over other approaches to managing plastic waste, such as physical removal and cremation, microbial bioremediation of microplastic waste in freshwater ecosystems provides a number of benefits.…”

“…Attachment not only provides stability but also increases the contact area between the fungal biomass and microplastics, enhancing the degradation efficiency (Debroy et al, 2022;Cai et al, 2023). Fungi are prolific producers of extracellular enzymes, including lipases, esterases, and peroxidases, that play a key role in microplastic biodegradation (Dwivedi et al, 2023). These enzymes act as catalysts, breaking down the polymer chains of microplastics into smaller fragments.…”

Microplastic pollution in freshwater bodies is a serious environmental issue affecting agriculture, human consumption, and ecological well-being. Microbial bioremediation is a promising method for removing microplastic waste. Bacterial and fungal species have shown efficiency in breaking down microplastic either aerobically or anaerobically. The alphaproteobacteria class, particularly the Rhodobacteraceae family, and the gammaproteobacteria family were home to the majority of bacteria that could break down microplastic. Several researchers investigated the Rhodococcus genus and the genera Pseudomonas sp. with noteworthy outcomes. Fungal phyla of Ascomycota (Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Leotiomycetes, Saccharomycetes, and Sordariomycetes), Basidiomycota (Agaricomycetes, Microbotryomycetes, Tremellomycetes, Tritirachiomycetes, and Ustilaginomycetes), and Mucoromycota (Mucoromycetes) were found efficient in the degradation of microplastic in both land and fresh water bodies. It is important to take action to lessen the amount of plastic garbage that enters freshwater bodies, as well as to improve waste management procedures and encourage sustainable plastic usage patterns in Nigeria.
