Los cient\u00edficos estadounidenses han descubierto que una especie de gusanos de la harina (‘Tenebrio molitor’) puede alimentarse de pl\u00e1stico desechable, uno de los mayores contaminantes de nuestro planeta. El nuevo descubrimiento podr\u00eda servir para enfrentarse al problema de la contaminaci\u00f3n por sustancias sint\u00e9ticas.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan informa el portal Sci-News<\/a>,\u00a0tras una serie de estudios un equipo de cient\u00edficos de la Universidad de Stanford\u00a0(EE.UU.) ha establecido que este tipo de gusano consume la espuma de poliestireno que se utiliza en la fabricaci\u00f3n de tazas desechables y recicla\u00a0el\u00a050% de este producto en di\u00f3xido de carbono. El resto se transforma en material biodegradado.<\/span><\/p>\n

De acuerdo con los investigadores, la clave del proceso de reciclaje se encuentra en el sistema digestivo de este animal, que contiene bacterias especiales. Los autores del estudio, publicado en la revista ‘Environmental Science and Technology’, se\u00f1alan que es la primera vez que la ciencia logra demostrar la degradaci\u00f3n del pl\u00e1stico por la acci\u00f3n de las bacterias intestinales de un animal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cabe se\u00f1alar que los gusanos no se ven afectados por el consumo de la sustancia desechable, lo que permite creer que estamos ante un\u00a0m\u00e9todo que podr\u00eda, en el futuro m\u00e1s cercano,\u00a0ayudar a\u00a0resolver el problema de los residuos pl\u00e1sticos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Sci-News portal, after a series of studies a team of scientists at the University of Stanford (USA) has established that this type of worm consumes polystyrene foam that is used in the manufacture of disposable cups and recycling 50% of this product in carbon dioxide. The rest is transformed into material biodegraded.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the researchers, the key to recycling is in the digestive system of this animal, containing special bacteria. The authors of the study, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, point out that it is the first time that science does show the degradation of the plastic by the action of intestinal bacteria in an animal.<\/span><\/p>\n

It should be noted that worms are not affected by the consumption of disposable substance, allowing you to believe that we we have a method that could, in the nearest future, help to solve the problem of plastic waste.<\/span><\/p>\n
