• An overview of the recent developments in polylactide (PLA) research. (2010, methodology): “Pranamuda et al. (2001) reported the purification of PLAdegrading enzyme from Amycolatopsis strain-41, with molecular weight of 43 kDa.”
• Biodegradability and biodegradation of poly(lactide) (2006, background): “Pranamuda et al. (2001) purified a L-PLA depolymerase from Amycolatopsis sp.”
• Biodegradability of Plastics (2009, background): “Several proteinous materials such as silk fibroin, elastin, gelatin and some peptides and amino acids were found to stimulate the production of enzymes from PLA-degrading microorganisms [50-54].”
• Lifetime prediction of biodegradable polymers (2017, background): “However, there is other evidence that microbial enzymes do play a role and that some exist that can degrade high molecular weight PLA [290-292].”
