Story Text

Nutzer im Internet sind optimistisch wegen einer Entdeckung: Ein kleiner Wurm, der Polystyrol fressen kann. Dieser Wurm könnte eine gute Lösung für das weltweite Problem mit Plastikmüll sein. Dieses Plastik ist schwer zu entsorgen und wird oft für Verpackungen benutzt. Normalerweise ist es teuer und schlecht für die Umwelt, diesen Müll zu entsorgen. Deshalb macht ein Team von Wissenschaftlern Tests mit einer Art Wurm, dem Mehlwurm. Diese Würmer haben die richtigen Bakterien, um Polystyrol zu verdauen. So könnten sie in Regionen mit viel Plastikmüll, wie Afrika, sehr nützlich sein. Wissenschaftler machen weiter Tests und hoffen, einen Weg zu finden, die Bakterien der Mehlwürmer gut zu nutzen.
