Biodegradation of Plastic by AspergillusSP
Plastics are light weighted, durable, corrosion resistant materials, strong, and inexpensive. Scientists have reported many adverse effects of the plastic in the environment and human health. Nowadays biodegradable plastics are considered as the environmental friendly. The plastic polymers as such at room temperatures are not considered as toxic. The toxic properties are found in plastics, when heat is released from the food material in which they are covered and then they produce serious human health problems. This review articles covers the list of biodegradation of plastics, some factors that affect their biodegradability, plastic types and their application and plastic degrading by fungi are discussed.
