Abstract:
:A strip of tread compound cut from a truck tire was degraded only slightly when it was used as the sole growth substrate for a strain of Nocardia. On the contrary, its degradation was markedly enhanced by addition of a strip cut from a latex glove which the organism readily utilized as a growth substrate. When a glove strip was added, the biomass concentration in the experimental flask became more than 10-fold higher than the control without a glove strip and the colonization of the tire strip was significantly enhanced. After 8 weeks' cultivation, about 28% of the tire strip was disintegrated into very small black particles (mostly less than 30 microns in diameter) and the weight of the remaining unchanged portion of the strip was about 49% of the initial weight. Four kinds of truck tire treads were attacked in differing degrees by the organism under the same conditions. The treads containing more than 70 phr (parts per hundred of rubber) of natural rubber were considerably attacked, while those with a natural rubber content of less than 55 phr were attacked only slightly. The microbial activity against the rubber in the side wall of a truck tire was relatively high, but the inner liner was hardly attacked and the bead rubber not at all.
