Abstract excerpt
Plastics composed of polyethylene are non-biodegradable and are mostly harmful to the environment. Literature studies documented that the extent of microbial degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) seems to be insufficient and the underlying mechanisms of such degradation remain unexplored. In the present study, efforts were given to degrade LDPE by a recently isolated bacteria Enterobacter cloacae AKS7....
