Abstract:

This paper summarized the research progress in PS biodegradation in recent years, especially in the microbial degradation of polystyrene(PS). The microbial degradation of PS in the environment like insect gut microbes and soil was explained in detail. The paper also prospected the development trend of PS biodegradation. There is an urgent requirement of a green biodegradation solution for the white pollution caused by PS.

Key words: polystyrene, microbe, biodegradability
