A microbial depolymerization process of polyethylene glycol 4000 was investigated mathematically. Weight distributions before and after cultivation of Sphingopyxis macrogoltabidus strain 103 were introduced into inverse probelms for a molecular factor and a time factor of a degradation rate. Once those inverse problems were solved numerically, the microbial depolymerization process of polyethylene glycol 4000 was simulated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
