Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Diversity of Fungi in Landfill and their Potential to Degrade PlasticErman Munir, Yitro Pasaribu, Syahira Mubtasima, Ahmad Faisal NasutionPlastic has been known as a recalcitrant material and is very difficult to degrade in nature, resulting in its accumulation and threatening the environment if it is not managed properly. Studies on the degradation of plastics have been obtaining much attention recently. This study aimed to determine the diversity of fungi isolated from plastic wastes in landfills and to identify … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 1 Mar 2024 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene Film by UV Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa D5Olusola Adeoye Oluwole, Temitayo Omotunde Olowomofe, Ikeoluwa Gloria OlaniyanLow-density polyethylene (LDPE) constitutes 60% of total plastic production, and non-degradable polyethylene carry bags are the most common type of solid waste found. Their recalcitrance in the environment is thus a major concern for environmentalists. This study investigated the potential of Ultraviolet (UV) induced mutation in enhancing biodegradation of LDPE films by two diesel degrading bacteria, Alcaligenes faecalis D4 and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Properties of Biopolymers from Corn Starch with Addition of Microalgae Spirulina platensisJúllia Koury Abreu, Loraynne Coelho Pereira, José Izaquiel Santos da SilvaThe discovery of the environmental impacts caused by petroleum-based polymers has led to the use of natural polymers gaining more and more space. Naturally occurring polymers, also known as biopolymers, are chemical compounds produced by living things or raw materials from renewable energy sources. Their main advantage is decomposition, while polymers from fossil and non-renewable energies can take hundreds of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2023 · 6,026 accessesView PDFCite
