Aspergillus Flavous Link. as a High Potential Fungal Member for High Density Polyethylene Degradation

S. S. Sakhalkar, R. L. Mishra

Abstract :

 The present study deals with the isolation of fungi from soil with great potential ability of polymer degradation. PVC, LDPE, HDPE, waxes and polyethylene wax were used in this study. The fungal members with 

the ability to degrade these polymers were isolated in synthetic medium. Several methods were employed to monitor 
the biodegradation of the polyethylene. The comparative study of ten fungal forms isolated from soil for polymer 
degradation. A.flavous reveals high plastic degradation ability during experimental period (for short and long duration) 
on HDPE.
