• Microbial enzymes for the recycling of recalcitrant petroleum‐based plastics: how far are we? (2017, background): “A high degree of hydrophobicity, a low specific surface area and a smooth surface topography restrict the formation of a biofilm by polymer-degrading microorganisms (Lucas et al., 2008; Loredo-Trevino et al., 2012; Cregut et al., 2013; Restrepo-Fl orez et al., 2014; Wei et al., 2014a).”
• Biological Degradation of Polymers in the Environment (2019, background): “Microbial ureases, esterases and proteases can enable the hydrolysis the carbamate and ester bonds of a PUR polymer [71, 73, 74].”
