“…As a result, the remaining bulk polymer shows only a small (9-16%) decrease in molecular weight. These data suggest that biodegradation of P3/4HB in soil takes place mainly via an enzymatic process with only a minor influence of hydrolysis [41].…”

“…But there is another direction to make use of PHB accumulated in activated sludge: a source of bio-energy, if it can be converted to methane gas. Not a few studies have been performed on anaerobic biodegradation of PHB (Budwill et al, 1992;Imam et al, 1995;Reischwitz et al, 1998;Rutkowska et al, 2008;Gutierrez-Wing et al, 2010), but in these studies, anaerobic degradation of industrially processed PHB was studied. On the other hand, PHB in activated sludge microorganisms is mostly located inside cells.…”

“…Wang et al (2005) studied degradation of (3HB-co-3HV) films in natural media and reported the highest degradation rate in activated sludge (residual mass 10.87 % of the initial mass at day 480 of the experiment) and lower rates in farm soil (84.32 %) and in the infertile garden soil (98.88 %). Rapid degradation of (3HB-co-3HV) and its blends with atactic P(3HB) was observed in compost containing activated sludge (almost 100 % for 6 weeks) and in soil environment of activated sludge (Rutkowska et al, 2008;ArcosHernandez et al, 2012).…”
