Numerous studies have focused on degradation of aliphatic polyesters and polycarbonates by microbes or cell extracts in laboratory settings or in the environment.
“Since then, numerous studies have focused on the degradation of aliphatic polyesters and polycarbonates by microbes (mainly bacteria, yeast and fungi) or cell extracts from these organisms, in laboratory settings or in the environment (e.g.marine 470 or soil degradation 471 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
