• Microbial enzymes for the recycling of recalcitrant petroleum‐based plastics: how far are we? (2017, background): “Recently, the utilization of microbial communities or mixed cultures with defined microbial strains has shown an improved performance in the degradation of PS and PE compared with the use of single microorganisms (Roy et al., 2008; Esmaeili et al., 2013; Yang et al., 2015; Mukherjee et al., 2016).”
• Microbial degradation and deterioration of polyethylene – A review (2014, background): “Hydrophobicity is usually determined by the contact angle of the surface with a probe liquid such as water, the more hydrophilic the surface the smaller the contact angle with water (Roy et al., 2008; Sudhakar et al., 2008).”
• Biodegradation of Low Density Polyethylene (Ldpe) by Mangrove Fungi from the Red Sea Coast (2015, background): “It is evident from the recent studies that the speed of biotic degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) can be enhanced by its prior oxidation [6-9].”
