In particular, the role of marine fungi in this context is largely unconstrained. In this study, we incubated the marine-derived fungus </span><i>Aspergillus terreus</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> in microcosms with </span><sup>13</sup><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\">C-labelled polyethylene (PE) to trace mineralization and assimilation of plastic-derived carbon. Our assays provide evidence that </span><i>A. terreus</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> mineralizes UV-treated PE. Over the 22-day period of incubation, fungal-mediated mineralization of photodegraded PE amounted to 0.24 % of the initially added PE. NanoSIMS imaging and isotopic analysis of fatty acids demonstrated the limited incorporation of UV-treated PE-derived carbon into fungal biomass. In contrast, incubations with </span><i>A. terreus</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> and untreated PE for up to 102 days showed no measurable evidence of biotic degradation. These findings underscore the critical role of photodegradation in facilitating subsequent biotic degradation of PE by </span><i>A. terreus</i><span style=\"color:rgb(31,31,31);\"> in marine environments.</span>","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Mineralization of photodegraded polyethylene by the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-01-23 01:32:31.458149","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"<p style=\"margin-left:0px;\">Marine fungi; Microbial plastic degradation; Isotopically labelled polyethylene; Nanosims","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-01-16","DateCreate":"2026-01-16","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":0,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1016/j.temicr.2025.100027"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":437219,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"100027","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"1","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":437234,"SerRR":"Total Environment Microbiology.
