Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Environmental pollution due to plastic is becoming a concentration, drawing
concern throughout the world. The wax moth larvae possess the potential for
biodegradation of different types of plastic with or without the involvement of the
intestinal microbiome in the larval gut. Similarly, mealworms and Tenebrio molitor
have been reported to cause the degradation of polyethene and polystyrene mixtures.
According to scientific literature, superworms such as Zophobas atratus can cause
polystyrene degradation. The plastic is biodegradable with many bacterial genera,
including Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, Stenotrophomonas, Rhodococcus, Staphylococcus,
Streptomyces, Bacillus, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and others. A few
other invertebrates with complex gut microbiomes also possess this property of plastic
biodegradation.
