Isolation, Screening and Evaluation of Low Density Polyethylene Degrading Bacteria from Plastic Contaminated Environments
The microorganisms that can live in a carbon-deficient environment suggested that they are able to exist in a LDPE-rich environment and the alteration of the LDPE was analyzed using Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infra-Red (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy to demonstrate the chemical modification.
