In most studies, fungi were considered for the degradation of LDPE due to their ability to form hydrophobic proteins that can attach to the polymer surface, their generation of degrading enzymes that are well- matched to the insoluble LDPE, the faster growth of fungal biomass in soil compared to bacteria, and the growth extension and penetration into other locations through the distribution of hyphae For details consult https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
