Engineered Algae Could Help Pull Microplastics Out of Water
University of Missouri researchers say a genetically modified algae strain can bind to microplastics in water, forming removable clumps while also helping clean wastewater.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers engineered algae that use limonene to bind with microplastics in water.
- The algae cause plastic particles to clump and sink, making removal easier.
