Figure 3From: Phyllosphere yeasts rapidly break down biodegradable plastics PBSA and PBS film-degradation activity of various species of phyllosphere yeasts. (A) PBSA and PBS film-degradation activity of yeast strains isolated from the husks of rice cultivated in various areas. Degradation rate of films after cultivation for 2 days (closed bar), 3 days (open bar), and 5 days (hatched bar), and (B) PBSA (closed bar, at 2 days) and PBS film (open bar, at 5 days)-degradation activity of various species of Pseudozyma collected from the leaves of rice and vegetables. Values are expressed as the mean (SD) at n = 3.Back to article page
