Biodegradation of low-density polyethylene and polypropylene by microbes isolated from Vaigai River, Madurai, India

K. Nanthini Devi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the microplastic degradation efficiency of bacterial isolates from Vaigai River, Madurai, India. Four bacterial isolates showed degradation of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) in preliminary screening, with the highest degradation observed in certain isolates. The formation of new functional groups on the surface of microplastics by isolates confirmed their efficiency in degrading microplastics, contributing to cost-effective and zero waste solutions for environmental protection.

Degradation of plastic waste using stimulated and naturally occurring microbial strains

Navid Taghavi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the biodegradation capability of microbial strains derived from soil, activated sludge, farm sludge, and worms' excreta on high-density polyethylene, polystyrene foam, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate under unstimulated and stimulated conditions. The most effective plastic-degrading microbes were identified as Penicillium raperi, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium glaucoroseum, and Pseudomonas sp. In the mixed condition, incubation of polyethylene with Aspergillus flavus showed the highest weight loss at 5.5%. Further analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy revealed the formation of new functional groups on the treated plastics.

Marine bacterial biodegradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic

Shrikant D. Khandare et al.

Summary: This study isolated four bacterial strains from the marine environment capable of degrading LDPE. The bacteria were able to form biofilms on the LDPE surface and reduce the thermal stability of the films. Results showed changes in the physical and chemical structure of the LDPE film, confirming its biodegradation potential.

Synergistic effect of UV, thermal, and chemical treatment on biological degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) by Thermomyces lanuginosus

Ashutosh Kr Chaudhary et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ability of Thermomyces lanuginosus to degrade pre-treated LDPE, revealing the synergistic effect of UV irradiation, heat, and acid pre-treatments on enhancing biodegradability. Structural modifications in LDPE chains and polymer matrix were observed post treatments, with significant reductions in weight and carbon content of the polymer samples after incubation with Thermomyces lanuginosus. SEM analysis showed alterations in morphology and texture patterns, suggesting Thermomyces lanuginosus as a promising agent for LDPE decomposition under laboratory conditions.
