Biodegradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) by mixed culture of Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus and Aspergillus niger in soil.
In this study, two strains of Aspergillus sp.and Lysinibacillus sp.with remarkable abilities to degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were isolated from landfill soils in Tehran using enrichment culture and screening procedures.The biodegradation process was performed for 126 days in soil using UV- and non-UV-irradiated pure LDPE films without pr
