polypropylene is one of a handful of materials the world is
literally built around. With more and more plastic being employed
in human lives and increasing pressure being placed on capacities
available for plastic waste disposal, the need for biodegradable
plastics and bio degradation of plastic wastes has assumed
increasing importance in last few years.In the current study, six
polypropylene degrading fungal strains were isolated via enrichment
technique from the contaminated sack and the soil surrounding
it.Different sources of polypropylene(sack, drinking straws and
medicine bottles)were allowed to degrade biologically in MSM under
shaking, static and in agar plate experiments using two selected
fungal isolates. these fungal strains were identified as Fusarium
solani and Drechslera australiensis. In FTIR, same degradation
pattern was observed throughout the study.So it was concluded that
these fungal isolates have the potential to be used for
polypropylene bio degradation.
