giving short chains or monomers that are small enough to
permeate through the cell walls to be utilized as carbon and
energy sources by a process of depolymerization (Dey et al.
2012). Bacterial isolates, BSM-1 and BSM-2 showed the
production of some enzymes and metabolites with the
indication of pH change supporting the metabolic activity
of strains on the LDPE substrate and also its degradation.
