I mean, while cool and beneficial, I hate to think what would happen if it becomes free and self-sustaining. Imagine a world where every piece of plastic rots at the pace wood rots if untreated. “Daaadd, my phone turned to dirt again.”
So far this bacteria is really slow at digesting the plastic molecules so it won’t be that fast. But they are already messing with its DNA to make it faster. I still think your phone turning to dust is unlikely, but what happens in hospitals? What happens to implanted medical devices? It could certainly have consequences
