Oh fuck I mean I would love this to be real but this is going to be abused so much in the next couple years. Supermarket shelves and social media posts will fucking be filled with drinks and pills containing (probably nonviable forms) these bacteria by the loads. Good luck everyone.

Also most of us already have enough microplastic embedded in our brains to last a lifetime.

Imagine talking about a bacteria that could save lives and never naming it! For those who want to know, it's in the nature article: E.coli and pseudomonas are the ones cited in the source document, widely spread bacteria already in your gut. Sooooo...

fast track that stuff.
The world is already full of PFAS, us included.

Everything lasts forever until it doesn't.

That looks like a mitochondria, which is the powerhouse of the cell.

As long as it doesn't hurt the PFAS industry profit margins.

The pefapocalyps is coming. Why does fluor have to be such a clingy sensitive removed clinging to cheats-with-anyone carbon? Now carbon is in a toxic relationship :(

Doesn't really seem like they'll get rid of what's already in the bloodstream and no real mention of safety yet, but it looks promising.

Awesome, nature finds a way. Wonder how common this removal is with other things, also, engineering one for nanoplastic removal would be a huge win!
