Microbial degradation of low-density polyethylene by Neopestalotiopsis phangngaensis.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has been commercially used and accumulated as plastic solid waste. LDPE has also been found to be a non-degradable waste for decades and found as a pollution source in the environment. In this study, 65 fungi were screened for their biodegradation of LDPE. The fungi Neopestalotiopsis phangngaensis, Alternaria burnsii, Alternaria pseudoeichhorniae, and Arthrinium sacchari showed significant potential in LDPE biodegradation. These fungi were individually cultured with an LDPE sheet as a carbon source for 90 days. A maximum weight loss of the LDPE sheet was detected by the fungus N. phangngaensis (54.34%). This fungus also revealed the highest reduction rate of tensile strength of the LDPE sheet (0.33 MPa). The morphological surface of LDPE culturing with N. phangngaensis was crack, pit, and rough analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The biodegradation of the LDPE sheet by N. phangngaensis was also confirmed by the Sturm test and analysis of enzymatic activities. The Sturm test showed the highest decomposition of the LDPE sheet by N. phangngaensis into CO2 with 2.14 g/L after incubation. Enzymatic activities of laccase, manganese peroxidase, and lignin peroxidase enzymes were found by N. phangngaensis during the LDPE degradation. The volatile organic compounds in culture supernatant of N. phangngaensis were also investigated. The major compounds were 3Z-diethyl acetal hexenal, 2E,4E-decadienol, and 2Z-diethyl acetal hexenal. This study reveals the utilization of the fungus N. phangngaensis as the carbon source at a considerable biodegradation rate without any prior treatment. Therefore, the fungus N. phangngaensis may be applied as an alternative degrader for LDPE degradation in the environment.
