Microbial Degradation of Polymers Used in Electronics
Abstract
In a continuation of our work on the biodegradation of polyurethane we are identifying and classifying new organisms isolated from enrichment cultures of polyurethane-contaminated soil from disposal sites. During the past year we have isolated in pure culture a number of bacteria and fungi capable of degrading polyurethane. We are in the process of identifying these microorganisms.
