Enhancement of low-density polyethylene biodegradation through the production of surface-active compounds by Pluralibacter gergoviae TYB1.

Pluralibacter gergoviae TYB1 is a facultative anaerobic bacterium with a high efficiency of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) degradation using self-producing surface-active compounds (SACs). This bacterium was used for the degradation of LDPE. In this study, analysis was performed to check the SAC production efficiency of P.
