Microbial degradation and deterioration of polyethylene – A review (2014, background): “Since CO2 evolution out of the system can be monitored continuously it allow determining not only the total consumption of the polymer but also the rate of degradation (Albertsson, 1980; Karlsson et al., 1988; Albertsson and Karlsson, 1990; Seneviratne et al., 2006; Pramila and Ramesh, 2011a).”
MICROBIAL DEGRADATION OF PLASTIC: A REVIEW (2015, unknown): “The literature shows that CO 2 gas is a major product emitted during biodegradtion of polythene (Seneviratne et al. 2006; Pramila and Ramesh 2011; Abrusci et al. 2011).”
Bacterial-Fungal Interactions: Hyphens between Agricultural, Clinical, Environmental, and Food Microbiologists (2011, background): “Bacterial-fungal cocultures have also been found to have an enhanced ability to decolorize waste azo dyes that cause environmental pollution (137), while a mixed bacterial-fungal biofilm of Penicillium frequentans and Bacillus mycoides demonstrated a greater ability to degrade polyethylene than eith”
Pollutants Biodegradation by Fungi (2009, background): “Biodegradation of polyethylene (DPE) was reported by white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporiumwas, Talaromyces wortmannii, and Penicillium frequentans showing high degradation [273, 274, 275].”
Biodegradation of low density polyethylene (LDPE) by fungi isolated from marine water a SEM analysis (2011, background): “…studies, fungi were considered for the degradation of LDPE due to their ability to form hydrophobic proteins that can attach to the polymer surface (Seneviratne et al., 2006; Kershaw and Talbot, 1998), their generation of degrading enzymes that are well matched to the insoluble LDPE (Shah et al.,…”
