Effect of Palmitic Acid in the Acceleration of Polyethylene Biodegradation by Aspergillus oryzae

The biodegradation of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) by Aspergillus oryzae was examined in the current study. The optimal temperature, pH, favorable carbon and nitrogen sources for organism growth were determined. A comparative study of degradation in surface...
