Nevertheless, plastic may also serve as a potential carbon and energy source for microbes, yet the contribution of marine microbes, especially marine fungi to plastic degradation is not well constrained. We isolated the fungus </span><i>Parengyodontium album</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> from floating plastic debris in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre and measured fungal-mediated mineralization rates (conversion to CO</span><sub>2</sub><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">) of polyethylene (PE) by applying stable isotope probing assays with </span><sup>13</sup><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">C-PE over 9&nbsp;days of incubation. When the PE was pretreated with UV light, the biodegradation rate of the initially added PE was 0.044&nbsp;%/day. Furthermore, we traced the incorporation of PE-derived </span><sup>13</sup><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">C carbon into </span><i>P. album</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> biomass using nanoSIMS and fatty acid analysis. Despite the high mineralization rate of the UV-treated </span><sup>13</sup><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">C-PE, incorporation of PE-derived </span><sup>13</sup><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">C into fungal cells was minor, and </span><sup>13</sup><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">C incorporation was not detectable for the non-treated PE. Together, our results reveal the potential of </span><i>P. album</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> to degrade PE in the marine environment and to mineralize it to CO</span><sub>2</sub><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">.
