abstract={In this work, we aim compare the thermal and microbial degradation of two copolyesters a Branched copolyester Based on Glycerol, Ethylene Glycol and Adipic acid COP B [27] and a linear copolyester based on Lactic Acid, Ethylene Glycol and Succinic Acid COP L [2]. The quantitative and qualitative biodegradation phenomenon of the prepared copolyesters studied using two selected strains of <i>Aspergillus sp</i> S1 and <i>Penicillium sp</i> S2. The mechanism illustrating this process was proposed. The mean of the apparent activation energy (Ea) of COP L is biggest than noted for COP B. In case of the biomass growth obtained for Aspergillus sp S2 and Penicillium sp S1 a high increase of biomass was observed for COP B. The branched biodegradable copolyester exhibit potential to replace linear biodegradable copolyester.},
