  • How is polyacrylamide biodegradable?
  • Both single microbial species as well as mixed populations have been investigated for degradation. Biodegradation of polyacrylamide begins with amidase catalysed deamination of polyacrylamide to ammonia and polyacrylate. The liberated ammonia is then used as a nitrogen source for growth by the microbes.
  • Is polyacrylate more recalcitrant to biodegradation than amide?
  • The carbon backbone, polyacrylate, is more recalcitrant to biodegradation than the amide moieties. There are nevertheless reports on microbial growth with polyacrylamide and polyacrylate as the carbon sources.
  • Does Pam biodegradation still exist?
  • Despite the low potential of PAM biodegradation, the process still exists in nature. Microbes typically break down the amide group and carbon backbone of PAM for use as a nitrogen and carbon source.
  • Can acrylamide be biodegraded?
  • Biodegradation of PAM and its derivatives has been studied only in the last two decades, with most emphasis on acrylamide biodegradation. Microorganisms have been shown to utilize, not only acrylamide, but also PAM and its derivatives as the sole source of nitrogen and/or carbon under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions.
