Relative Humidity Influences Aureobasidium pullulans Degradation of Polyester Polyurethane Foam

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
The plant pathogen Aureobasidium pullulans' ability to degrade polyurethane foam is impacted by Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH). These impacts can be observed through foam weight loss, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fungal growth, and cutinase gene expression.
