Abiotic and biotic degradation of oxo-biodegradable plastic bags by Pleurotus ostreatus.

PLoS ONE, 2014
In this study, we evaluated the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus PLO6 using oxo-biodegradable plastics as a carbon and energy source. Oxo-biodegradable polymers contain pro-oxidants that accelerate their physical and biological degradation.
