Identification of a Marine Benthic P(3HB)-Degrading Bacterium Isolate and Characterization of Its P(3HB) Depolymerase

A poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (P(3HB))-degrading marine bacterium (strain NK-1, JCM10458) was isolated from the Pacific Ocean deep-sea floor (1165 m in depth) in Japan. The organism was a motile and Gram negative, aerobic, and rod-shaped bacterium, and its DNA had a guanine-plus-cytosine content of...
