yes, bacteria present in soil can break down plastic over a long period of time (hundreds of year) into toxic particles which end up by entering in food chain.

Hi,
=======:
Here is your answer,
=======:
Yes, it's possible for some special kind of bacteria.
PET that is the newly discovered in USA is highly resistant to biodegradation and there are huge piles of bottles and fibres containing the plastic littering oceans, towns and dumps 70 years after use.
It's not broken down because there is an absence or low activity of catabolic enzymes that can attack its plastic constituents.
