| Abstrakt: | Importance: PP biodegradation has not been clearly shown (it has been uncertain whether the PP structure is actually biodegraded or not). This is the first report on the obvious biodegradation of PP. At the same time, this study shows that Alcanivorax bacteria could be major degraders of PP in mesopelagic environments. Moreover, PP biodegradation has been investigated by using solid PP as the sole carbon source. However, this study shows that PP would not be used as a sole carbon and energy source. Our data thus provide very important and key knowledge for PP bioremediation. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. |
