Biochemistry of microbial polyvinyl alcohol degradation
Fusako Kawai,Xiaoping Hu +1 more
TL;DR: Effect of minor chemical structures such as 1,2-diol content, ethylene content, tacticity, adegree of polymerization, and a degree of saponification of the main chain on biodegradability of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is summarized.

Diversity of polyester-degrading bacteria in compost and molecular analysis of a thermoactive esterase from Thermobifida alba AHK119.
TL;DR: Thermobifida alba strain AHK119 was shown to possess the ability to significantly degrade aliphatic-aromatic copolyester film as well as decreasing the polymer particle sizes when grown at 50°C on LB medium supplemented with polymer particles, yielding terephthalic acid.

The pva operon is located on the megaplasmid of Sphingopyxis sp. strain 113P3 and is constitutively expressed, although expression is enhanced by PVA
TL;DR: R reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses revealed that the intergenic regions between orf1 and oph or between cytC and orf2 were expressed neither in PVA medium nor glucose medium, indicating that the pva operon consists of three genes.

Cloning and expression of soluble cytochrome c and its role in polyvinyl alcohol degradation by polyvinyl alcohol-utilizing Sphingopyxis sp. strain 113P3.
TL;DR: The recombinant cy tochrome c was fully reduced by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), coupled with a catalytic amount of the recombinant PVA dehydrogenase (PVADH) of the same origin, suggesting that the cytochrome c involved in the pva operon is a physiological primary electron acceptor for PVADH and that PVA dehydration is linked with the respiratory chain in Sphingopyxis sp.
