Exploration of Pleurotus ostreatus as a biological agent in the degradation of persistent plastics like polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene terephthalate, revealing a promising avenue toward mitigating the environmental impacts of plastic pollution. Leveraging the intrinsic enzymatic capabilities of this fungus, mainly its production of laccase, presents a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to breaking down complex polymer chains into less harmful constituents. This review focused on enhancements in the strain's efficiency through genetic engineering, optimized culture conditions, and enzyme immobilization to underscore the potential for scalability and practical application of this bioremediation process. The utilization of laccase from P. ostreatus in plastic waste management demonstrates a vital step forward in pursuing sustainable environmental solutions. By using the potential of fungal bioremediation, researchers can move closer to a future in which the adverse effects of plastic pollution are significantly mitigated, benefiting the health of our planet and future generations.
探讨糙皮侧耳（Pleurotus ostreatus）作为一种生物制剂，在降解持久性塑料（如聚乙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚氯乙烯和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯）方面的作用，为减轻塑料污染对环境的影响提供了一条有前景的途径。利用这种真菌的内在酶促能力，主要是其漆酶的产生，为将复杂的聚合物链分解成危害较小的成分提供了一种可持续且环保的方法。本综述重点讨论了通过遗传工程、优化培养条件和酶固定化来提高菌株效率，以强调这种生物修复过程的可扩展性和实际应用潜力。利用糙皮侧耳漆酶在塑料废物管理中的应用，展示了在寻求可持续环境解决方案方面向前迈出的重要一步。通过利用真菌生物修复的潜力，研究人员可以更接近一个未来，即塑料污染的不利影响得到显著减轻，造福我们的地球和子孙后代的健康。
