Identification and evaluation of thermophilic bacteria isolated from Malaysian hot springs with potential for plastic polyvinyl chloride degradation

The biodegradation of polymeric plastics using biological agents has gained increasing interest. Thermophilic bacteria are particularly attractive as elevated temperatures weaken polymer structures, enhance substrate diffusion, and stimulate enzyme activity, thereby accelerating degradation. This st...
