title: Role of the fungus--Periconiella sp. in destruction of biomedical waste.
abstract: The disposal of biomedical waste is a burning problem in developing countries due to scarcity of resources and funds in view of its high cost involved. In this paper, a very cheap, easily available and effective method by using fungus--Periconiella sp. isolated from cow dung was successfully tried, which degrades the biomedical waste materials very efficiently and quickly without leaving any trace of harmful effect on the population.
