Polythene is known for their easy to use properties due to which they are widely being used up all around the world. Low density polythene is one such type which is flowing in the market in and around on a daily basis. These polyethylene causes harm to the environment as these cannot be degraded easily and takes long years to get degraded. Microorganisms are known for their biodegradation ability, as they are natural scavengers. They are the base of food chain where they do the work of biodegradation. Fungi specifically are such microorganisms having excellent biodegradation ability. In this study, an attempt has been made to isolate such fungal species which can help in biodegradation of LDPE. Keywords: Fungi, LDPE, Biodegradation, Aspergillus sps.
