Fungi that eats Ocean Plastics

There are many types of fungi that can break down plastic, including: 

Pestalotiopsis microspora: A fungus discovered in Ecuador by Yale students in 2011 that can break down polyurethane plastic, even in an environment without oxygen. This fungus may be effective in landfills. 

Parengyodontium album: A marine fungus that can break down plastic. 

Aspergillus terreus: A fungus that can biodegrade polypropylene, a hard-to-recycle plastic. 

Engyodontium album: A fungus that can biodegrade polypropylene, a hard-to-recycle plastic. 

Fusarium: A fungus that can degrade plastic. 

Penicillium: A fungus that can degrade plastic. 

Botryotinia cinerea EN41: A fungus that can degrade plastic. 

Trichoderma: A fungus that can degrade plastic. 

Plastic-eating fungi could help reduce ocean pollution. However, to reduce plastic waste, we need to take more action, such as reducing plastic production and using sustainable alternatives
