摘要
The present study provides preliminary data on the involvement of such microorganisms as Aspergillus niger in the biodegradation of commercially available polyethylene packaging thin films and T. ferroxodans and T. thiooxidans in pure and mixed cultures in the desulfurization of rubber samples. Further studies are in progress, and it is expected that the generated results will contribute to the solution of certain problems associated with the disposal and management of polymeric waste materials. © 1990 Humana Press Inc.
