Abstract excerpt
The isolation of poly(3-hydroxyoctanoic acid)- and poly(6-hydroxyhexanoic acid)-degrading bacteria yielded 28 strains with abilities to degrade various polymers. The most versatile strains hydrolyzed five different polyesters comprising short chain length and medium chain length poly(hydroxyalkan...
