00:00It's different how is the colony size.
00:20Right, right. But something is very difficult to control, as you say.
00:24Yeah, something is difficult.
00:28Typically, plastics are very well known to be degrading over many, many years and even decades.
00:46This research has been showing that, in fact, fungi are able to degrade plastics much faster.
00:55The fungi produce enzymes that naturally break down materials like plastics.
01:11We are lightly treating these plastics before we feed them to the fungi, in a way to mimic
01:18the natural weathering of the plastics.
01:21As we know, plastics are found in many different environments in nature now.
01:27Our process connects the treatment steps with the biological steps in a way to optimize the
01:35degradation rate.
01:37The fungi use these enzymes to latch onto the plastics, but also to degrade them and break
01:44down the carbon into lighter compounds like carbon dioxide and water.
01:49And water.

02:06In water.
02:07with water looking at water.
02:11this one is we isolated in 2023 we discover it from the natural from the environment and
02:27we use it to degrade the polyplobrine plastic actually we achieve 27 percentage of degradation
02:39and it was the highest percentage for all the project which is published last time
02:57the second one is the new fungi we isolated from the marine so this fungi we are working on it this
03:08time and the result is promising result we use it to degrade the polypropylene plastic
03:38so
