Are you curious about how microbes are involved in creating a more sustainable world? Those tiny, often-overlooked organisms hold a remarkable secret — the power to break down chemicals through biodegradation. Imagine a world where plastics and other challenging compounds, often seen as environmental villains, could be transformed into environmentally-friendly products.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Jhonatan Hernandez Valdes to discuss how these microbes are revolutionizing our approach to sustainability. He shares about his role as a microbiologist at Nouryon, investigating and understanding how microbes degrade chemicals in the environment. Ultimately, his research aims to help in developing more environmentally friendly products.

Tune in if you want to explore how we can work with microbes to leverage their transformative powers to pursue a greener, cleaner world.

Topics covered in this episode:

What is biodegradation?
The challenge of persistent chemicals
How microbes adapt to biodegrade novel chemicals
Biodegradation and environmental sustainability
