The biodegradation of three synthetic 14C-labeled polymers, poly(methyl methacrylate), phenol formaldehyde, and polystyrene, was studied with 17 species of fungi in axenic cultures, five groups of soil invertebrates, and a variety of mixed microbial communities including sludges, soils, manures, garbages, and decaying plastics. Extremely low decomposition rates were found. The addition of cellulose and mineral failed to increase decomposition rates significantly.
对三种合成的14C标记聚合物,即聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯、酚醛树脂和聚苯乙烯,在无菌培养条件下用17种真菌、五组土壤无脊椎动物以及包括污泥、土壤、粪便、垃圾和腐烂塑料在内的各种混合微生物群落进行了生物降解研究。结果发现降解速率极低。添加纤维素和矿物质未能显著提高降解速率。
