Description
This multidisciplinary project focuses on the biodegradability of biosourced plastics, with the aim of combating marine plastic poulltion. The project aims to characterize how bacteria invade and erode a semi-crystalline / amorphous polymeric surface and how different the degradation is from an abiotic medium which just contains soluble extracted depolymerases.
