Mealworms Plastic. Mealworms are not only able to eat various forms of plastic, as previous research has shown, they can consume potentially toxic plastic additives in styrofoam with no ill effects, a new study shows. The key to this amazing ability of theirs are the microscopic bacteria in their gut that appear to secrete enzymes capable of chopping up these plastics. enzymes from yellow mealworms show potential for degrading plastics of all kinds, and could be one new method to get rid of plastic waste. several studies have revealed the potential of several coleopteran species to degrade plastics, and this is the first. mealworms are not only able to eat various forms of plastic, as previous research has shown, they can consume potentially toxic plastic additives in styrofoam with no ill effects, a new study shows. my research focused on understanding how mealworms—the larval form of the darkling beetle—can eat and fully degrade plastics in a matter of hours. scientists have extracted the bacteria in mealworms that digests certain plastics. a study at stanford university has found that mealworms may be able to help us deal with the issue of plastic pollution. But what does it mean for plastic.
