According to the Pakistani "Dawn News" reported on September 26th, a scientific research team consisting of scientists from China and Pakistan recently discovered a fungus that can break down plastics. The use of this strain may completely change the way that plastic waste is disposed of. According to the report, researchers found that Aspergillus tubingensi used plastic to feed on garbage dumps in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. According to this finding, nine Pakistani researchers and the Chinese Academy of Sciences of the Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB), Chinese Academy of Sciences The staff co-authored the "Study on the Biodegradability of Polyester Polyurethane Made from Aspergillus," which is the latest development in the field of mycotoxin-degrading contaminants.
Scientists say that the root-like filament network that grows in Aspergillus tubigensis helps break down polymers. Some plastics that carry lethal pollutants and require decades of decomposition can be decomposed by Aspergillus tubing in a few weeks.
Sehroon Khan of the World Agroforestry Center/Kunming Institute of Biology said that her team has been studying biological methods of “degrading plastic wasteâ€. “We decided to take a sample from the junkyard in Islamabad, Pakistan, to see if there is material that can break down the plastic, just like other organisms decompose dead plants or animal matter.†The researchers observed that Aspergillus tuberculosis is degradable and not biodegradable. Plastic ability.
To determine which conditions were most effective, the researchers tested fungi in liquid, soil, and dextrose agar (SDA) plates. The study found that fungi can break down plastic in all three media and it is most effective when cultured on SDA media. At the same time, scientists discovered that the original fungi found in the soil can also survive on plastic surfaces. Researchers believe that Aspergillus tuberculosis can be the answer to effective disposal of plastic particles in waste treatment plants.
