Colonization and degradation of polyurethane coatings by Pseudomonas protegens biofilms is promoted by PueA and PueB hydrolases

The ability of bacteria and fungi to degrade polymeric substrates is often assessed in liquid-based assays conducted by exposing polymers to planktonic cells, or cell-free supernatants or enzymes generated from them. These assessments miss the opportunity to specifically examine the role of biofilm...
