Polythene is an important part of daily life, that’s why demand of polythene production is increasing worldwide each year but its final non-treated waste is making earth polluted. Polythene is becoming major threaten element for environment, seems lack of awareness and poor waste management in last two decade. Fungi are ubiquitously found as reported from in each and every habitat, even can survive in adverse environment. Biodegradation is a best way, if possible, to overcome this problem. Still fungal flora of decaying polythene waste is not much worked out. This piece of work was conducted in order to find out a microbial consortium for the biodegradation of polythene. Samples were collected from various water bodies of Jhansi and screened for their fungal flora. In present study 10 fungal strains were isolated from different natural decaying sites.
