Abstract:The target of this study was to isolate fungal strains from saline environments able to degrade two synthetic polyesters (PCL, poly (-ɛ-caprolactone) and adipic acid (1, 4butanediol, terephthalic-adipic, BTA).The clear zone method on mineral salt yeast extract medium (MSY) containing polymers was adopted to compare the degradative efficacy of isolated fungi. Scanning electron microscope as well was used to examine polymer degradation by Aspergillus flavus. Through this study a total of 22 fungal strains were i… Show more
