Abstract
Cured gelatin-PF resin blends have been tested for their biodegradabil ity by two strains of Aeromonas hydrophila PC5 and LA8. It has been sh own that only the gelatin component of the blends is totally degraded by the strains in the temperature range 10-30 degrees C and the pH ran ge 6.0-9.0. PC5 appears to be more active than LA8, particularly at hi gher resin contents of the cured blends. (C) 1996 Published by Elsevie r Science Limited.
