Acinetobacter guillouiae, a lipolytic strain isolated from sludge capable of partially depolymerising polyethylene terephthalate: genomic, proteomic, and biochemical insights

Findings indicate that A. guillouiae I-MWF can mediate partial PET depolymerisation without assimilating the resulting monomers, while preferentially growing on lipid-like substrates, suggesting adaptation to hydrocarbon-rich environments.
