Biodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Bags by Fungi Isolated from Waste Disposal Soil

Table 2

Illustrates the weight reduction of LDPE discs in terms of percent weight loss before and after incubation with fungal isolates.

Sr. no.	Isolates	Initial weight (mg)	Final weight (mg)	Weight loss (mg)	Percentage (%)
1	Aspergillus niger	17.4	13.4	4	22.9
2	Aspergillus flavus	18.6	15.6	3	16.1
3	Brown rot	9.2	7.5	7.2	18.4
4	white rot	4.4	3.4	1	22.7
5	Penecillium	5.0	5.0	0	0
6	Control	5.4	5.4	0	0
