Degradation of polyurethane by novel bacterial consortium isolated from soil (2008, background): “Polyurethanase protease activities have been reported for Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas chlororaphis (Howard and Blake, 1998; Ruiz et al., 1999), polyurethanase lipase activity has been detected in Bacillus subtilis strains (Rowe and Howard, 2002).”
Microbial and Enzymatic Degradation of Synthetic Plastics (2020, methodology): “…for growth, e.g., P. aeruginosa (Kay et al., 1991), Corynebacterium sp. (Kay et al., 1991), Comamonas acidovorans (Nakajima-Kambe et al., 1995), Pseudomonas fluorescens (Howard and Blake, 1998), Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (El-Sayed et al., 1996), and Bacillus subtilis (Rowe and Howard, 2002).”
Communities of Microbial Enzymes Associated with Biodegradation of Plastics (2013, background): “Following a brief discussion of the enzymes and the factors affecting the production of enzymes, a descriptive survey is presented on various individual group of enzymes such as laccase, cutinase, hydrolase, esterase, protease and urease etc. and the microbial species that were predominant are Strep”
