Research and Assessment of the Possibility of Biodegradation of PVD, HDPE by Larvae Galleria Mellonella (Lepidoptera, INSECTA)
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2023-1-30-34
Abstract
Comparative analysis performed on morphometric parameters of Galleria mellonella larvae grown on natural nutrient media with the addition of LDPE (low density polyethylene), HDPE (high density polyethylene) in various ratios 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10. Levelling of different ratios of polymers was revealed while maintaining the viability of larvae. The content of LDPE microparticles in roughages of the digestive tract of larvae was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showing partial digestion of synthetic polymers.
