Polymer Degradation, Fungi, Microorganisms

Polymer is an essential cause of environment pollution. plastic is a widely name given to different polymers with high molecular weight, which can be degrade by various process. Literature survey shows that investigates the possibility of various plastic degradation by various fungi and various microorganisms. Polymer are highly resistant to degradation by using fungi and microorganisms is a great challenge. Important chemical chain wear detects by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The degrading ability of fungi and microorganisms was evaluated by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), co2 production.
