• Abiotic and biotic environmental degradation of the bioplastic polymer poly(lactic acid): A review (2017, background): “The most commonly suggested mechanism is that microorganisms can degrade PLA only after high molecular weight PLA goes under hydrolysis and the molecular weight of PLA falls 10,000 Da or less [14,17,18,20,25,56,66 e 71].”
• Lifetime prediction of biodegradable polymers (2017, background): “Other microorganisms that have been identified as degrading PLA include Actinomycetes Amucolatopis type and a bacterium, Bacillus brevis [293].”
