摘　　要：Plastic pollution has become an urgent issue,since its invasion to everyecosystem has led to multiple impacts on the environment and human pop-ulations.Certain microbial strains and genera had shown the ability to bio-degrade plastic sources under laboratory conditions.In this minireview,wecallect and analyze scientific papers and reports of this microbial activity aswe contextualize this information on the global plastic pollution problem,toprovide an updated state of the art of plastiq/biodegradation with microbialagents.Along with a broad understanding of the general process of plasticbiadegraclation hosted by micrnarganisms.The contributions of this mini-revicw came from the identification of rescarch gaps,as well as proposalsfor new approaches.One of the main proposals focuses on coastal environ-nents and in particular coastal wetlands as a great microbiome source withpatential for plastic biodegradation,whether reported or undiscovered.Ourfinal proposal consists of the application of this knowledge into technologictools and strategies that have a remarkable impact on the battle against theplastic pollution problem.
