The main difference between these processes is that anaerobic reactions produce methane, while aerobic reactions do not (however, both reactions produce carbon dioxide, water, some type of residue, and a new biomass).
A prominent example is poly-3-hydroxybutyrate, the renewably derived polylactic acid, and the synthetic polycaprolactone.
Others are the cellulose-based cellulose acetate and celluloid (cellulose nitrate).

Some of the products from fragmentation are easily transported within the cell by membrane carriers.
However, others still have to undergo biotransformation reactions to yield products that can then be transported inside the cell.For example, the site cannot determine your email name unless you choose to type it.Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created the cookie can read it.This site stores nothing other than an automatically generated session ID in the cookie; no other information is captured.In general, only the information that you provide, or the choices you make while visiting a web site, can be stored in a cookie.The rate of biodegradation can be measured in a number of ways.Respirometry tests can be used for aerobic microbes.Factors include light, water, oxygen and temperature.The degradation rate of many organic compounds is limited by their bioavailability, which is the rate at which a substance is absorbed into a system or made available at the site of physiological activity, as compounds must be released into solution before organisms can degrade them.Under low oxygen conditions plastics break down more slowly.The breakdown process can be accelerated in specially designed compost heap.
