Results demonstrate that cooperation between a saprophytic fungus and a polymer-producing bacterium enables the efficient transformation of biodegradable plastic by-products, such as beer bagasse and used cooking oil.

New preprint this time through a fantastic collaboration with @jorgebarriuso.bsky.social and team. We have discovered the genetic basis behind the remarkable ability of Pseudomonas putida JM37 to use the PET #plastic monomer ethylene glycol as a growth substrate! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Pseudomonas putida JM37 as a novel bacterial chassis for ethylene glycol upcycling
Ethylene glycol (EG), one of the main monomers of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is an attractive target for microbial upcycling. Despite this interest, there is a limited number of described organ...
