Evaluating the Ready Biodegradability of Biodegradable Plastics
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021Abstract Reducing the environmental burden and assessing the safety of plastics are huge global challenges. However, standard test data on the ready biodegradability of plastics are limited. We evaluated the ready biodegradability of 8 biodegradable plastics using Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test ...

A comprehensive review on biodegradation of tetracyclines: Current research progress and prospect.
Science of the Total Environment, 2022The release of tetracyclines (TCs) in the environment is of significant concern because the residual antibiotics may promote resistance in pathogenic microorganisms, and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes poses a potential threat to ecosystems ...

Biodegradability and biodegradation of poly(lactide)
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2006Poly(lactide) (PLA) has been developed and made commercially available in recent years. One of the major tasks to be taken before the widespread application of PLA is the fundamental understanding of its biodegradation mechanisms. This paper provides a short overview on the biodegradability and biodegradation of PLA.

Biodegradability and Biodegradation of Polyesters
Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2007A variety of biodegradable plastics have been developed in order to obtain useful materials that do not cause harm to the environment. Among the biodegradable plastics, aliphatic polyesters such as: poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and poly(l-lactide) (PLA) have become the focus of interest ...
