Identification of mixed microbial consortia isolated from polyethylene films surface

Abstract

The purpose of present study was to characterized microbial consortia isolated from the surface of LDPE films extracted from the soil contaminated with polyethylene. The consortia obtained are composed predominantly of fungal strains, and micromycetes are mostly represented by the genus Trichoderma. The bacteria were determined only in 2 consortia, out of the 6 obtained, and were represented by species from the genera Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Streptomyces.
