Substrate specificities of poly(hydroxyalkanoate)-degrading bacteria and active site studies on the extracellular poly(3-hydroxyoctanoic acid) depolymerase of Pseudomonas fluorescens GK13.

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(hydroxyalkanoates). The new isolates together with previously isolated poly(hydroxyalkanoate)-degrading bacteria were classified...
