Article Synopsis
- - Plastic waste poses a significant threat to ecosystems, prompting researchers to identify bacteria capable of degrading polyurethane (PU) from plastic waste, resulting in four isolates (RS1, RS6, RS9, RS13) being evaluated for their degradation capabilities.
- - The Moraxella catarrhalis strain BMPPS3 (identified as RS13) demonstrated the highest PU degradation efficiency, losing 67.36% of PU in 30 days, and produced biosurfactants that enhanced its growth and PU degradation.
- - Analysis revealed that the degradation process generated fatty acids and alkanes while facilitating biofilm formation on PU surfaces, along with increased production of extracellular enzymes such as esterase and urethanase, indicating the
