Düsseldorf, 2023 AB - The global plastics crisis poses urgent environmental and social challenges due to the excessive production, consumption and disposal of plastic waste. To address this issue, biorecycling within a circular bioeconomy is a potential solution, involving the depolymerization of long-chain polymers by chemical or enzymatic catalysis and subsequent biological transformation of the resulting monomers. The goal of this work was to enable this approach by expanding the substrate range of Pseudomonas putidaand P. taiwanensis to include aliphatic medium-chain length (mcl) dicarboxylic acids (DCAs), aromatic DCAs, and aliphatic diols. The study also aimed to combine plastic monomer degradation with production of biopolymers and aromatic compounds.
