What is Biodegradation of Starch/Natural Rubber about?

1) Streptomyces coelicolor CH13 was isolated from soil and found to degrade natural rubber and starch. When strips of a blended starch/natural rubber biopolymer and rubber gloves were exposed to S. coelicolor CH13, degradation occurred through the formation of holes and breakdown of surface material. 2) After 6 weeks, S. coelicolor CH13 reduced the weight of the biopolymer by 92% and the weight of the rubber gloves by 14.3%, indicating it was able to degrade both materials. 3) Scanning electron microscopy
