Outline of Final Research Achievements

Biodegradable plastic degrading fungi were isolated from plant surface and gasket seal of refrigerator and window. A total of 167 strains of cosmopolitan fungi were isolated in various areas of Japan (Tsukuba,Saporo and Ogasawara Island). Those were identified by the morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of ITS1-5.8S rDNA region. The most frequently isolates, isolated every area, were Cladosporium spp. (31strains). Other genera isolated were Alternaria spp. (17strains) and Aspergillus spp. (13strains). It was demonstrated that biodegradable plastic degrading fungi were isolated from different geographical conditions, such as the cool climate and subtropical.
