The enzymes were esterase, lipolase, and savinase which are in the hydrolase class; the enzyme solutions were prepared one by one as an enzyme cocktail solution. Degradation experiments were carried out at 37°C and a pH 7.4. Two quantitative methods were used to follow the biodegradation. All samples were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy. The weight and bond structures were recorded during the period of biodegradation. The degradation rates constant (k) values of all the experiments were evaluated from the changes in the number average of the molecular weight. The results showed that the lipolase enzyme solutions could erode polymer films, but that the esterase enzyme solution could only decrease molecular weights of polymers and enzyme solutions which include savinase which had lower erosion times than the other enzyme cocktails. Degradation rates for the decreasing of molecular weight and changing of polymer chains was very different between commercial and synthesized polymer films.

The aim of this study was to evaluate spatial and temporal changes in the salinity and level of the water table in the command area of the Menemen Irrigation System for the years 1995-2006 using geostatistical methods integrated with GIS. The salinity and level of the water table in the study area were evaluated in terms of both spatial and temporal variation. Trend analyses of these values were performed using the Mann-Kendall test. The non-parametric Sen’s Slope Estimator was used to calculate the magnitudes of the trends. A risk map of the study area was formed by performing geostatistical analyses by GIS, based on the intensity of the trend. It was observed that there was no current problem with the depth and salinity of the groundwater in the study area in general, but that there would be a potential risk of a problem in the future.","PeriodicalId":11598,"journal":{"name":"Ekoloji","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70619851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
