BIODEGRADACION FUNGICA DE POLIURETANO RÍGIDO

Polyurethane (PU) is one of the most widely used polymer materials. This generates a serious environmental problem because of its poor biodegradability since most of the native microorganisms cannot use it as a source of nutrients. Several techniques involving mechanical and chemical processes have been used for its recovery and reuse; however, the problem of contamination has not been solved, and recently research has focused on developing strategies that use different microorganisms for the biodegradation of PU. In this work, the biodegradation and enzymatic capacity of three fungal strains ...
