The biodegradable TPU was made with bacterial spores from a strain of Bacillus subtilis that has the ability to break down plastic polymer materials. "It's an inherent property of these bacteria ...

B. subtilis spores are stable across a wide temperature range, which reduces the cost of storage and transportation.

We have attempted to examine this problem using clean, dormant, thermostable spores of a common aerobic bacterium, Bacillus cereus strain terminalis.
