The Potential of Bioremediation for Plastic Waste: Bacteria and Fungi

Several types of bacteria have such as Pseudomonas, Ideonella, and Rhodococcus shown their ability to break down plastic, and use it as a source of carbon, these bacteria convert plastic into simpler molecules by using enzymes

We found a few more so far... Rhodococcus ruber, comamonadaceae bacteria, pseudomonas pachastrellae, several native bacillus species, even a fungus parengyodontium album, all naturally occurring.
Plus the aforementioned Ideonella sakaiensis obviously...
We do have some non-gmo options. 😃

PAS-positive macrophages point to Whipple’s disease. Key mimic: MAC, which is PAS-positive but acid-fast positive; T. whipplei is acid-fast negative. Rhodococcus and fungi can also complicate specificity. That's why this is not truly pathognomonic.

Bacteriology is plainly too Clostridioides difficile for them, so I suggest they Lactobacillus fuchuensis with the horse they Rhodococcus infection.
