Evaluation of Low Density Polyethylene Degradation by Aspergillus proliferans AND Bacillus vallismortis Isolated from Polluted Sites around Visakhapatnam India Optimization using response surface methodology

Abstract

quotThe environment is seriously threatened by the build-up of resistant polymers, newlineespecially Polyethylene (PE). Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), one of the many newlinevarieties of PE, is the one that is most frequently used. Unfortunately, PE is produced newlineand used at a faster pace than it is disposed of. Although many methods, including newlineincineration, waste treatment and recycling, have been suggested, they have either been newlinetoo expensive or only partially successful. A different approach has been suggested, newlineutilizing the biodegradation of LPDE.quot newline newline
