Our institute contributed with the contribution of A. Puškárová M. Bučková "Biodegradation of plastic materials" in the preparation of the brochure "The plastic age", which is published on the website of the Open Academy of the Slovak Academy of Sciences...

For the first time, a new research programme is being launched in Slovakia, in which microbiologists and chemists are working together. It focuses on the degradation of so-called “eternal chemicals” by micro-organisms. Scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences believe that several types of microorganisms, especially bacteria and fungi, have the potential to be a good tool in removing poly- and perfluoroalkyl, or PFAS for short, from wastewater environments.

Is packaged green really that healthy? In a recent review, scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences focused on possible pathogens as well as saprophytic microorganisms that can affect ready-to-eat salads.
