25、92 milligrams, or almost 3% of itTo confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown,the researchers made some worms into paste（糊状物） and applied it to plastic films.14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their massapparently broken down by enzymes（酶）from the
