| polyester-degrading thermophilic actinomycetes isolated from different environment in taiwan. | thermophilic actinomycetes strains were isolated from various environment in taiwan and screened for degradation of poly(ethylene succinate) (pes), poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (pcl) and/or poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) (phb) by the clear-zone method. out of 341 strains of thermophilic actinomycetes, 105 isolates were phb-degraders (30.8%), 198 isolates were pcl-decomposers (58.1%), and 99 isolates could degrade pes (29.0%). furthermore, 77 isolates could degrade both phb and pcl (22.6%), 35 isolates ... | 2007 | 17653512 |
