Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and the copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) were fermented to methane and carbon dioxide within 16 days by an anaerobic sewage sludge consortium. The cultures adapted quickly to metabolize these polymeric compounds, and between 83 and 96% of the substrate carbon was transformed to methane and carbon dioxide.
聚(3-羟基丁酸酯)和共聚物聚(3-羟基丁酸酯-co-3-羟基戊酸酯)在 16 天内被厌氧污水污泥共混物发酵为甲烷和二氧化碳。这些培养物很快适应了代谢这些聚合化合物,并且 83%至 96%的基质碳被转化为甲烷和二氧化碳。
