Can’t wait for the pandemic of plastic eating fungus infecting the human race and living on the micro plastic in our testicles.
Or, like, all medical tools becoming impossible to package and ship cause of this fungus.Or just spreading outside of the garbage patch and getting into a city. Suddenly everywhere there’s plastic coated electric wiring becomes a fire hazard.
Maybe just the second one. Or neither.
It can survive in salt water, but probably not our bloodstream when we’re making antibodies
I’ve heard the reason hot blooded animals evolved is because they’re resistant to fungal infections unlike cold blooded animals
P. album is capable of mineralizating UV-treated polyethylene (PE) into CO2.
Well, FUCK!
First I was like “that sounds really good actually” but turning it into CO2 probably isnt good news
Might it be better than sticking around is plastic for thousands of years? I don’t know.
