This finding was similar with the depolymerisation
of high molecular weight polyethylene glycol
by Gloephyllum trabeum.
The process involved carbon–carbon bond scission via a
free radical induced degradation (Hammel, Tien, Kalyanaraman,
& Kirk, 1985; Karem, Jensen, & Hammel, 1999; Kersten, Tien,
Kalyanaraman, & Kirk, 1985).
