| Abstract: | The kinetics of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) degradation in natural environment in two water reservoirs having various ecological characteristics was studied. It was shown that biodegradation of polymer essentially depends on the environment temperature and inorganic composition of water. The processes of polymer degradation under aerobic and anaerobic conditions were compared. The polymer degradation was slower under anaerobic conditions. |
