“Culturomics Identifies Potential Plastic-Degrading Anaerobic Bacteria in Tenebrio molitor Larvae Feces”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116533

This study used culturomics to isolate and classify 226 anaerobic bacterial strains from the feces of Styrofoam-fed Tenebrio molitor larvae, including 34 potential novel species, and found that some of these strains may be promising for investigating plastic biodegradation.
