METHOD FOR DEGRADING AROMATIC POLYESTER USING MICROORGANISM

WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/090913

A1

It is intended to provide a microorganism which belongs to the genus Pigmentiphaga and has an ability to specifically degrade terephthalic acid; a microorganism which belongs to the genus Bacillus and has an ability to produce an extracellular polysaccharide with an ability to adhere to an aromatic polyester; a microorganism which belongs to the genus Pseudomonas and has an ability to specifically degrade bishydroxyethyl terephthalate; a microorganism which belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria and has an ability to accelerate the ability to degrade an aromatic polyester; a microorganism which enhances the ability of Rhizobium sp. OKH-3 to degrade an aromatic polyester; and a method for degrading an aromatic polyester using a group of these microorganisms.
