NOVEL BACTERIUM DECOMPOSING PBS

摘要

PURPOSE: A novel strain which decomposes marine-derived polybutylene succinate(PBS) and a method for decomposing PBS using the same are provided to effectively decompose waste fishing gear made of a PBS material. CONSTITUTION: A Staphylococcus sp. PBS-1(KACC91577) is able to decompose polybutylene succinate(PBS). A Paenibacillus sp. PBS-2(KACC91578) is able to decompose PBS. A composition for decomposing PBS contains the Staphylococcus sp. PBS-1 or Paenibacillus sp. PBS-2. A method for decomposing PBS comprises a step of treating the Staphylococcus sp. PBS-1 or Paenibacillus sp. PBS-2 to PBS. Waste fishing gear contains PBS.
