Abstract: | Out of 25 Amycolatopsis strains, 15 formed clear zones on agar plate emulsified with poly(L-lactide) (PLA), suggesting a large distribution of PLA degraders within this genus. The clear zones were also observed with other polyesters and silk fibroin plates. In liquid cultures of PLA degraders, there were strains with and without ability to assimilate degradation products like L-lactic acid. |
