A mesophilic bacterium capable of Low-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (LMWPE)
biodegradation was isolated from a beach soil having been contaminated extensively with …

A mesophilic bacterium capable of polypropylene (PP) biodegradation was isolated from
soil using a culture medium containing low molecular weight polypropylene (LMWPP) as a …

The current study focused on an environment friendly method for degradation of Low
Density Polyethylene (LDPE) using bacteria. A total of 36 bacterial strains were isolated from …

The current article makes a comparative analysis between the biodegradation of natural and
synthetic polyethylene by three different species of Pseudomonas. The three Pseudomonas …

Aim: To select a polyethylene‐degrading micro‐organism and to study the factors affecting
its biodegrading activity. Methods and Results: A thermophilic bacterium Brevibaccillus …

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is an environmental problem because it is discarded
randomly, and because in dumpsites, it does not readily degrade. This study reports …

Sixty marine bacteria isolated from pelagic waters were screened for their ability to degrade
low-density polyethylene; among them, three were positive and able to grow in a medium …

A variety of bacterial strains were isolated from waste disposal sites of Uttaranchal, India,
and some from artificially developed soil beds containing maleic anhydride, glucose, and …

Polyethylene has considered as non-degradable for decades, and their degradation through
marine bacteria has rarely studied. However, LDPE found a significant source of pollution in …

Low density polyethylene is one of the polymers that is up till date nearly impossible to be
degraded safely. Biodegradation is the safest method of breakdown that possibly leaves …
