Challenges in biodegradation of non-degradable thermoplastic waste: From environmental impact to operational readiness.
TL;DR: In this article, the advantages and limitations of current plastic degradation methods, their technology readiness levels (TRL), biodegradation mechanisms and the associated challenges in biodegradability are assessed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Fungal Biodegradation of Low-density Polyethylene [LDPE] from Plastic Wastes Dump Sites Using FT-IR Spectra
B. I. Aderiye,R. O. Akinyeye,Adebisi Sulaimon,Olusola Oluwole,Fayokemi J. Kehinde,Oluwadamilola E. Ojo,Sunday O. Bamiteko +6 more
TL;DR: The FT-IR analyses demonstrated the ability of the fungal isolates to colonise and modify LDPE films, suggesting the formation of a new functional group usually at frequency range of 3500 and 3200cm -1 as alcohol or phenol.

Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradability of plastics.
TL;DR: In this review, microbial and enzymatic biodegradation of plastics and some factors that affect their biodegradability are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer biodegradation: mechanisms and estimation techniques.
Nathalie Lucas,Christophe Bienaimé,Christian Belloy,Michèle Queneudec,Françoise Silvestre,Jose-Edmundo Nava-Saucedo +5 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to emphasise the importance of measure as well as possible, the last stage of the biodegradation, in order to certify the integration of new materials into the biogeochemical cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colonization, biofilm formation and biodegradation of polyethylene by a strain of Rhodococcus ruber
TL;DR: F Fourier transform infrared spectra of UV-photooxidized polyethylene incubated with Rhodococcus ruber indicated that biodegradation was initiated by utilization of the carbonyl residues formed in the photooxidization of the Polyethylene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of polyethylene by a fungus, Penicillium simplicissimum YK
TL;DR: In this article, a strain of Penicillium simplicissimum (YK) was used in the biodegradation of polyethylene, characterizing the fungus and examining how to treat the polyethylenes before cultivation to make degradation more complete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrophobins and repellents: proteins with fundamental roles in fungal morphogenesis.
TL;DR: The functional similarities between hydrophobins and repellents highlight the importance of aerial development to the fungal lifestyle and may act as a conformational cue for certain developmental processes.
