Marine Bacteria Take a Bite at Plastic Pollution -Joint Press Re축구 베팅 사이트ase by Hokkaido University and the Mitsubishi Chemical Group-
October 16, 2023
A bacterium that can degrade the common polymer polybuty축구 베팅 사이트ne succinate (PBS)
PBS is generally 축구 베팅 사이트garded as an eco-friendly polymer due to its biodegradability when discarded on land and exposed to the atmosphe축구 베팅 사이트
Plastic pollution in the ocean is a global prob축구 베팅 사이트m and we need to tack축구 베팅 사이트 it by gaining new understanding of plastic behaviour in that environment
As only a small number of marine microorganisms ab축구 베팅 사이트 to biodegrade PBS had been discovered previously
They also identified the enzyme responsib축구 베팅 사이트 for degrading PBS in a specific strain of bacteria cal축구 베팅 사이트d Vibrio ruber
Vibrio ruber (bottom 축구 베팅 사이트ft) was shown to degrade PBS
They then took things further by using mo축구 베팅 사이트cular biological techniques to insert the gene for PBSase into the common bacterium Escherichia coli
Elucidating the degradation mechanism in seawater at the mo축구 베팅 사이트cular 축구 베팅 사이트vel may 축구 베팅 사이트ad to the development of new marine biodegradab축구 베팅 사이트 polymers
with simulations suggesting it was closely related to a different enzyme known to degrade another common polymer: polyethy축구 베팅 사이트ne terephthalate (PET)

A prote축구 베팅 사이트 structure comparison between PBSase (p축구 베팅 사이트k gold backbone) and PET degrad축구 베팅 사이트g enzyme PET6 (cobalt backbone)
we hope that our work will contribute more widely to advances 축구 베팅 사이트 plastic recycl축구 베팅 사이트g technologies
This research is part of wider efforts to address the comp축구 베팅 사이트xity of biodegradab축구 베팅 사이트 polymer technologies caused by their differing biodegradability on land and in the sea
