Microbial biodegradation of polyethylene of low density, under controlled thermal conditions in air lift bio-reactor
Summary
Researchers tested the ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and Aspergillus brasiliensis fungus to biodegrade low-density polyethylene under controlled thermal conditions in an airlift bioreactor. The study identified microbial mechanisms with potential for mitigating plastic contamination through biodegradation.
The present investigation seeks to identify new mechanisms that serve as tools for the mitigation of plastic contamination through the biodegradation of low density polyethylene using microorganisms of the species Pseudomona aeruginosa (bacteria) and Aspergillus brazilensis (fungus) under controlled thermal conditions in an airlift bioreactor.
