• Biodegradation behavior of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and their blend under soil conditions (2013, methodology): “In the biodegradation process, PLA is first hydrolyzed, and the hydrolyzate products are then decomposed by microorganisms into carbon dioxide and water [34–37].”
• An overview of the recent developments in polylactide (PLA) research. (2010, background): “Oda et al. (2000) tested many commercial protease enzymes for degradation of PLA.”
• Biodegradability and biodegradation of poly(lactide) (2006, methodology): “Oda et al. (2000) examined the enzymatic degradation of L-PLA at 50 °C using 56 commercially available proteases.”
