Biodegradación de partículas de microplástico de polietileno a partir de un consorcio microbiano aislado del contenido intestinal de la larva Galleria mellonella L

Abstract

This work analyzes the percentage of biodegradation of the high and low density polyethylene microparticles through the use of a microbial consortium isolated from the intestinal content of the Galleria Mellonella L. larvae. The analyzes performed were made by FT-IR, SEM and percentage of loss. polymer mass. The result was a degradation in the surface of the particles and loss of mass.
