Q. Which country’s scientists recently discovered plastic-eating fungi as a potential solution to ocean pollution?
Answer:
Germany
Notes: Scientists in Germany have discovered plastic-eating fungi from the Aspergillus and Pestalotiopsis genera that may help address plastic waste. These fungi can break down plastics, potentially offering a solution to plastic pollution. Challenges include CO2 release and the need for specific environmental conditions to optimize the process. This discovery could significantly help in reducing plastic pollution in the world's oceans.
