Abstract

This study demonstrates that Delftia sp. WL-3 can mineralize completely diethyl terephthalate by biochemical processes. The study reveals the metabolic mechanism of diethyl terephthalate biodegradation. Furthermore, the cracks on the surface of Polyethylene terephthalate film that form upon inoculation with strain WL-3 were observed using SEM. These results highlight the potential of the strain WL-3 in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with Polyethylene terephthalate or diethyl terephthalate.
