LDPE degradation study was carried out using
both the bacterial strains individually. Each flask inocu-
lated with 3 ml of 24 h old culture (BSM-1 and BSM-2)
grown on LDPE-supplemented medium was used as
inoculums to avoid any associated long lag phase. Then
cultures were incubated on a rotary shaker (Neolab
Instruments) at 33.3 C and 130 rpm for 60 days. Each test
consisted of three replicates.
