Fig. 9From: Towards synthetic PETtrophy: Engineering Pseudomonas putida for concurrent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monomer metabolism and PET hydrolase expressionPBAT copolymer film degradation by engineered P. putida strains. A Weight loss of a PBAT-starch-PLA copolymer film after 6Â days of incubation in LB medium with P. putida KT2440 or P. putida KT2440 PIbpA-bglx-HiC. B Weight loss of a PBAT-starch-PLA copolymer film after 4Â weeks of incubation in M9 minimal medium supplemented with 20Â mM TA with P. putida TA7-BD or P. putida TA7-BD PIbpA-bglx-HiC. C Image of the PBAT-starch-PLA copolymer film after the treatment shown in (B), with the P. putida TA7-BD-treated film left and the P. putida TA7-BD PIbpA-bglx-HiC-treated film right.
