AB  - Partially degraded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was collected from plastic 
      waste dump yard for biodegradation using fungi. Of various fungi screened, strain 
      MF12 was found efficient in degrading HDPE by weight loss and Fourier transform 
      infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometric analysis. Strain MF12 was selected as 
      efficient HDPE degraders for further studies, and their growth medium composition 
      was optimized. Among those different media used, basal minimal medium (BMM) was 
      suitable for the HDPE degradation by strain MF12. Strain MF12 was subjected to 
      28S rRNA sequence analysis and identified as Aspergillus terreus MF12. HDPE 
      degradation was carried out using combinatorial physical and chemical treatments 
      in conjunction to biological treatment. The high level of HDPE degradation was 
      observed in ultraviolet (UV) and KMnO4/HCl with A. terreus MF12 treatment, i.e., 
      FT10. The abiotic physical and chemical factors enhance the biodegradation of 
      HDPE using A. terreus MF12.
