- Pestalotiopsis microspora - Wikipedia
Pestalotiopsis microspora is a species of endophytic fungus capable of breaking down and digesting polyurethane [1] Originally identified in 1880 in fallen foliage of common ivy (Hedera helix) in Buenos Aires, [2] it also causes leaf spot in Hypericum 'Hidcote' (Hypericum patulum) shrubs in Japan [3]
- Chow Down on a Plastic-Eating Fungus - Smithsonian Magazine
The secret is in a rare fungus called Pestalotiopsis microspora A few years ago, researchers discovered the fungus—which can consume a type of plastic called polyurethane—in the Amazonian
- Plastic eating mushrooms: a viable solution to plastic decomposition . . .
The discovery of Pestalotiopsis’ ability to decompose plastic led to further research into plastic decomposition by fungi Researchers have now found that many species are capable of plastic bioremediation including the common edible oyster mushroom
- A fungus that eats polyurethane | Findings - Yale Alumni Magazine
In the September issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Jonathan Russell ’11 and his colleagues describe how they isolated, from plants collected during the class’s two-week spring trips, a fungus they identified as Pestalotiopsis microspora —and then discovered its unique polyurethane-digesting talents
- Plastic-Eating Mushrooms: Species, Benefits, Impact - Treehugger
Students on a class research trip from Yale discovered a rare mushroom in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador back in 2011 The fungus, Pestalotiopsis microspora, can grow on polyurethane, a common
- Bio-Degradation of Landfills by Plastic Eating Mushroom (Pestalot - Longdom
The primary reason for using Pestalotiopsis fungi (Pestalotiopsis microspora) is their ability to decompose plastic under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions So, they will be able to be used for degrading plastic from the landfills and oceans
- Pestalotiopsis— morphology, phylogeny, biochemistry and diversity
Pestalotiopsis vismiae can be differentiated as it has two apical appendages, while Pestalotiopsis microspora is differentiated from P neglecta and P dissementa by the length of the apical appendages
- Biodegradation of Polyester Polyurethane by Endophytic Fungi
Two Pestalotiopsis microspora isolates were uniquely able to grow on PUR as the sole carbon source under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions Molecular characterization of this activity suggests that a serine hydrolase is responsible for degradation of PUR
- Unveiling the Plastic-Eating Mushrooms: A Complete Discovery - ClimateSort
Students from Yale University discovered a mushroom species that can eat plastic The mushroom, called Pestalotiopsis microspore, comes from the Amazon rainforest Astoundingly, these mushrooms can survive on plastic alone The fungi consume polyurethane and convert it into organic matter
- The Plastic-Eating Fungi That Could Solve Our Garbage Problem
In their paper, the Yale researchers discussed finding the fungus, Pestalotiopsis microspora, in the Amazon, one of the most biologically diverse areas on the planet
