The research aimed to isolate biofilm-forming bacteria capable of degrading PHB with PHMG derivatives. Different derivatives showed varying effects on biodegradation and biofilm formation in water and compost, with PHMG polyethylene wax granulate significantly inhibiting BOD at high concentrations.
The aim of this study was to isolate biofilm-forming bacteria that are capable of degrading polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) with polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) derivatives. The three types of derivatives incorporated in PHB and their concentration affected the biodegradability of the tested films in both water and compost. The PHMG derivative granular polyethylene wax at the highest concentration significantly inhibited BOD in both environments. At the same time, in water, PHB with PHMG stearate at 1% concentration was also found to inhibit biodegradation but to a lesser extent than PHMG polyethylene wax granulate. Analyzing the values of biofilm abundance and their hydrolytic activity in water, low concentrations of PHMG derivatives (0.2 and 0.6%) slightly inhibited biofilm abundance on the surface of the tested composites. Only granular polyethylene wax PHMG (at 1% concentration) significantly reduced biofilm formation and hydrolase activity in the compost to the greatest extent. Bacteria from biofilm were isolated and identified. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the strains belong to Bacillus toyonensis HW1 and Variovorax boronicumulans HK3. Introduction of the tested isolates to the environment can enhance composites degradation. However, this requires further research.
