APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY PLASTIC MONOMER DEGRADAT...

The environmental impact of plastic waste is regularly discussed. With bio-upcycling we can use
plastic waste as a substrate for biotechnology. Polymers like PET and PU can be hydrolyzed to
yield monomers like adipic acid  1 4-butandiol and ethylene glycol. This work enabled
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to utilize these monomers  and gave insights into their metabolism
and its regulation. Hereby  a biological basis to produce value added materials from plastic
monomers was set.
