Abstract:- In this study, using Methanosarcina barkeri DSM 800 and Methanococcus vannielii DSM 1224 methanogenic bacteria under mesophilic (38 ± 1oC) and thermophilic (58 ± 1oC) conditions in anaerobic granulated sludge taken from Pakmaya Yeast Factory in Izmir, Turkey; Methane production from biodegradable plastics with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) was investigated. Effect of different operating parameters, increasing biodegradation times (from 10 days to 500 days), different inoculumsubstrate… Show more
