AHMEDABAD – Three bacteria families have been isolated by the research team at A&R Institute of Biotechnology. The microorganisms have been said to break down polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. Researchers at the Institute are now moving their laboratory scale testing i...
Recently on Nature.com an article was produced showing how microorganisms in water can biodegrade normal plastic. The microorganisms that are contributing to the global cleanup are vibros bacteria. This bacteria which has contributed to the global cleanup of consumer waste was introduced at the M...
Biodegradable plastic are enhanced with the use of BioSphere Plastic additive. We have found papers in regards to polypropylene biodegradation by microbial communities discovered in 1993 by scientists in Italy. Their report can be found below. http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.js...
Ultimate degradability of Polystyrene has been extensively investigated since the 1990’s, recently the Nuclear Waste Management committee made up of private and public sectors conducted position papers around the subject. Below is some excerpts from their findings around Polystyrene, with a...
Plastic is degrading in the oceans: “There’s no reason why plastic couldn’t break down to a molecular level and exist as finer and undetectable particles in the water,” says Greg Boyd, an SEA employee and researcher onboard the Robert C. Seamans (RCS). Greg’s hypothesis is a work in progress, but...

When it comes to bacteria, there’s the good, the bad, and the ugh. Fortunately, scientists around the world are working on ways to enlist bacterial help in green technology. A crew from University College Dublin in Ireland has devised a way to put bacteria to use in recycling plastic into b...
Hadad D, Geresh S, Sivan A. Source Department of Biotechnology Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel. Abstract AIM: To select a polyethylene-degrading micro-organism and to study the factors affecting its biodegrading activity. METHODS AND RESULTS: A thermophilic bac...
The Microbes Behind the Scene. Bacteria that cause for biodegradable plastic usually are the dominant hydrocarbon degraders in landfill environments. They also posses diverse metabolic pathways that are not present in fungi which allows them to utilize most recalcitrant petroleum hydrocarbons. Ba...
Whether ready-made or custom, we can provide the perfect biodegradable solution.
