Morgan Vague: This bacteria eats plastic
TEDTalks
October 2018
Humans produce 300 million tons of new plastic each year - yet, despite our best efforts, less than 10 percent of it ends up being recycled. Is there a better way to deal with all this waste? Microbiologist Morgan Vague studies bacteria that, through some creative adaptations, have evolved the unexpected ability to eat plastic -- and could help us solve our growing pollution problem.
