 This research paper examines the potential for polystyrene, P.S., biodegradation through the use of gut bacteria from tentabriomolitor and zephobasmoriobedals. The authors have developed a platform consisting of P.S. dissolved in a liquid mineral culture medium to observe the effects of P.S. on the gut bacteria's growth. They also use Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR, and visible light spectrometry, VLS, to measure the physical and chemical changes associated with P.S. degradation. The results suggest that P.S. is a viable carbon source for the gut bacteria, and that FTIR and VLS are effective methods for measuring the physical chemical changes associated with P.S. degradation.
