What is Microbial degradation of poly(p-dioxanone) II. Isolation of hydrolyzates-utilizing microorganisms and utilization of poly(p-dioxanone) by mixed culture about?

To achieve microbial degradation and utilization of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO), the degradation by mixed culture of PPDOdegrading strain and PPDO-hydrolyzates-utilizing strains was investigated. From a screening test of the utilizing strains, a total of 15 utilizing strains were isolated. It was clear that PPDO-hydrolyzates-utilizing microorganisms are widely distributed in various environments, and the PPDO-hydrolyzates were utilized easily by the utilizing microorganisms. Characterization of the utilizing strains showed that the isolates are aliated with two phyletic clusters: genera Ralstonia and Duganella in the b subdivision of the class Proteobacteria and genus Rhodococcus or Tsukamurella in the class Actinobacteria. These utilizing strains quickly utilized PPDO-hydrolyzates as sole carbon source. By the mixed cultures with the isolated utilizing strains and PPDO-degrading strain 3-1a, high molecular weight PPDO was degraded and utilized successfully.
