Fig. 2. Physicochemical characterization of PVC film degradation by strain EMBL-1.

Fig. 2

a The SEM image of the biofilm formed by strain EMBL-1 on PVC film at day 10. b SEM image of the cracks formed by strain EMBL-1 on the PVC film at day 10 and the insert image in panel b was the PVC film in the control group. c, d The weight loss (c) and molecular weight (d) of PVC film in PVC-EMBL-1 group (strain EMBL-1 added) and PVC control group (no strain) during 90 days. Each experimental group was conducted in triplicate, the mean values (± standard deviation) were visualized, and source data were provided as a Source Data file. e The FTIR results for PVC film in the PVC group (strain EMBL-1 added) over 90 days. f The NMR results of PVC film in EMBL-1-90 group (strain EMBL-1 added) and control-90 group (no strain) after 90 days. g The detection results of GC-MS of degradation products in PVC films from EMBL-1-90 (strain EMBL-1 added) and control-90 group (no strain) after 90 days.
