Microbial degradation of flexible polyurethane foams by aspergillus niger and aspergillus terreus
The ability of the fungi, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus, to degrade palm-based flexible polyurethane foam was determined via the petri dish and shake flask tests. A dense fungal growth was detected by visual examination of foams inoculated on minimal nutrient agar/solution (MN)but not on the mineral salts agar/solution (MS). Both the palm-based and commercial […]
