The degradation ability of Bacillus subtilis to degrade Palm-based polyurethane foam filled with cellulose (PU-CEL) was evaluated by reacting monoester-OH from palm-kernel oil and isocyanate with ratio 1:1. Addition of microcrystalline cellulose in PU systems was at 0 %, 20 % and 40 % by weight, mix...
