“…Multiple studies have reported both aerobic and anaerobic PCL-degrading bacteria or fungi, including Acinetobacter spp., Alcaligenes faecalis, Bacillus spp., Brevundimonas sp., Clostridium sp., Lactobacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces spp., Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., Mucor spp., Paecilomyces lilacinus, Penicillium spp., and Rhizopus spp. (Murphy et al, 1996 ; Tiago et al, 2004 ; Tokiwa et al, 2009 ; Nawaz et al, 2014 ; Khan et al, 2017 ; Bartnikowski et al, 2019 ; Mandic et al, 2019 ; Suzuki et al, 2021 ; Budkum et al, 2022 ; Atanasova et al, 2023 ). The degradation of PCL is carried out by esterases and/or depolymerases secreted extracellularly.…”
