Summary
This study examined the biodegradation of PBAT (polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate), a certified compostable plastic, under realistic environmental conditions. The research assessed degradation rates, metabolite formation, and microbial community involvement, finding that PBAT biodegradation is strongly dependent on temperature and the presence of specific microbial communities.
