(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To decompose acrylamide polymers by microorganisms. [Structure] A method for degrading an acrylamide polymer by a microorganism, which degrades the acrylamide polymer using Entropobacter agglomerans strain A. [Effect] For example, polyacrylamide having a molecular weight of 2,000,000 can decompose 28% in 27 hours, and the molecular weight can be reduced to about 500,000 or less. |
