What's wrong with this? Seems like a useful idea. I don't think this works outside of a controlled environment.
You're right, it is definitely a useful idea. Like treadful mentioned my first thought was now we will have bacteria creating microplastics in our environment.
The risk of them being released to the wild.
Lab bacteria like this almost never can exist outside of very specific environmental parameters.
So you’re saying there’s a chance!?
Let's hope it doesn't at least. We don't need more sources of microplastics.
