3.2. Degradation of latex glove by CFMR-7
In order to further confirm the rubber-degrading ability of CFMR-7, a bio degradation study was carried out using mineral salts medium as cultivation medium and acetone treated latex glove as the sole carbon source. This strain was also able to show enhanced growth on ISP2 medium. However it was noted that it produced strong orange yellow diffusible pigmentation in this medium. Thus this medium was not considered for the rubber degradation activity.
