Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates can encode plastic-degrading enzymes that allow survival on plastic and augment biofilm formation

Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates can encode plastic-degrading enzymes that allow survival on plastic and augment biofilm formation
Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates can encode plastic-degrading enzymes that allow survival on plastic and augment biofilm formation
Highlights
• Clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA-W23 can degrade a medically relevant plastic
• Encodes novel polyesterase Pap1, which is responsible for plastic-degrading activity
• P. aeruginosa PA-W23 can use plastic as a carbon source to grow
• Pap1 can influence virulence phenotypes, such as biofilm formation, in the presence of plastic
