In this work, we present the results of the inoculation of canola seeds ( L.) with strains that promote the growth of plants. Seven morphologically different strains of (TvI-VII) were shown to be capable of synthesizing auxins and exhibited cellulolytic and pectinolytic activities.

In this study we identified the strain of fungus GZ1, which was characterized by particularly high pectinolytic activity. Using differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy techniques, and viscosity measurements we showed that three-month incubation of polylactide and polyethylene terephthalate in the presence of the fungus lead to significant changes of the surface of polylactide.
