Supporting plastic Modern life is not inclined, sturdy, and variable, but it is difficult to discard and have a great impact when released in nature. Polyethylene, especially, widely produced plastic system, in over 100 million tons are distributed annually. As may last decades decay – and there may damage wild animals and reduce harmful microcaterium – its disposal is a human urgent problem.
In 2017, European researchers found a solution that might be available. Wax Moths worms, well-known as wax worms, have the power to demolish polyethylene in their bodies. WAX worms are considered insects from ancient times because they show bee bees, feeding with Beewax. However, we now know that they too can appear in a polyethylene, with a structure similar to the chemical.
“About 2 wax forms are about 2 Cassone and his team have been researched how these insects can help fight plastic pollution.”
In previous examination, Cassone and his team discovered how the wax worms demolished polyethylene. Understanding their digestive method, Cassoni’s group is raped polyethylene for wax caterpillars for several days and followed the metabolic processes and changes in their abdominal location. They found that as the wax worms eat polyethylene, their dunes use Glycol as a BlessCol.
But when germs are under the pesticides, the glycol value in its ears were severely reduced. This revealed that the demolation of polyethylene depends on the Wax Worms viruses.
The group also distinguishes bacteria from wax caterpillars and the cultures can be survivors of polyethylene as its food source. Among them was the difficulty of AcinetobacterFor more than a year ago, the laboratory area and continued to break polyethylene. This revealed that the strength is firm and persistent Gutm’s Gutm’s Gutm’s Gutm’s Gutm’s Gutm.
But real literally, when it comes to eating a plastic, the bacteria that weighes do not work alone. When investigators conducted the genetic analysis of insects, they discovered that Wax-made worms are a fat of fat metabolism. He also organized their plastic virus – worms, worms, caterpillars can break plastics and convert them into lipid, and keep their families.
However, the only plastic food has not been a survival of wax forms. In their latest examination, the party found that the larvae of the polyethylene was killed for a few days and lost a lot of weight. This has shown that it is difficult for wax worms to continue to process polyethylene waste. But the investigators believe that they are building a food source to help their polyethylene foods that the wax worms are able to strengthen healthy work in plastic food and improve their desolation function.
Looking forward, the party suggests two strategies for using the wax fields of platform. The first is to produce wax worms eaten in polyethylene diet, while providing them the enthusiastic support they need for a long-term economy, using insects themselves to drop waste. Another planning is the plastic damage to the wax worm in the lab, using microorganisms and enzymes, and therefore forms pests.
In the pesticide, the Byproduct will be large numbers of biomass pests – many caterpillars at plastic. This may be transformed into a healthy feedback on the Aquacaulte industry, according to the Data for research team, insects can be the good source of commercial fish.
