Abstract: Polyethylene (PE) is a convenient and inexpensive polymer that is widely used in daily life. However, PE products are recalcitrant to degradation in the environment, leading to increasing plastic pollution. This has inspired the search for effective microorganisms and enzymes that can biodegrade PE. In this study, a fungal strain that degrades PE was isolated from soil contaminated with plastic and identified as Trichoderma harzianum. The strain was cultured with PE as the sole carbon source for 30 days, and t… Show more
