BACTERIAL CONSORTIA FOR LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE BIODEGRADATION

摘要

This invention relates to an indigenous consortium for low-density polyethylene biodegradation developed by selective adaptability and enrichment under in-situ conditions consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PS1, P. putida strain PW1 and P. aeruginosa strain C1 mixed at equal proportions of the order of 2.0 X107 colony forming units and added in to minimal broth Davis w/o dextrose and the process for preparation thereof comprising, isolating, purifying, characterizing and conserving individual bacteria in five steps, developing consortium in four different steps.
