This paper reviews the biodegradation potential of bacteria and fungi on polyethylene plastics,introduces the biodegradation mechanism,such as colonization,fragmentation,assimilation and mineralization,analyzes the role of microbial enzymes dominated by fungi in the degradation process of polyethylene plastics,expounds the prospect and challenge of biodegradation technology,and provides a path selection and theoretical reference for the study on polyethylene plastics biodegradation.
