Biodegradability of polyethylene by bacteria and fungi from Dandora dumpsite Nairobi-Kenya.
This study aimed at isolating and identifying bacteria and fungi with the capacity to degrade low density polyethylene (LDPE). The level of biodegradation of LDPE sheets with bacterial and fungal inoculums from different sampling points of Dandora dumpsite was evaluated under laboratory conditions....
