University of Missouri Researchers Develop Algae Strain That Can Remove Microplastics from Water
Researchers at the University of Missouri have engineered a strain of algae capable of capturing microplastic particles from water, according to a study published in May 2026 in Nature Communications. The modified algae produce limonene, an orange-scented oil that renders their surface water-repellent, causing nearby microplastics to adhere and form clumps that sink for easy collection.
