MICROBIAL DEGRADATION OF NATURAL RUBBER AND VULCANIZED NATURAL RUBBER USING MICROBES ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT WASTE DISPOSAL SITES OF CHITTAGONG

Huge generation of very slowly degradable rubber waste is hazardous for human health and environment. The major chemical component of rubber is Cis-1, 4 Polyisoprene. During vulcanization polyisoprene chains are cross-linked with Sulphur at high heat. This study has been conducted to isolate micr...
