Dr. Andrej and Dr. Matejka Turel explore the challenges of biodegradation measurement using respirometry, focusing on inconsistencies caused by varying microbial populations in compost. Their study introduces activated vermiculite as an alternative inoculum for PLA biodegradation, offering a standardized solution to enhance reliability. By employing advanced analytical methods, they demonstrate how biodegradation analysis can be streamlined for greater accuracy and user-friendliness.
