Abstract
Thermophilic actinomycetes were isolated from sediment of the Chingshuei hot spring in north Taiwan, and the strain HS 45-1 was selected from colonies which formed distinct clear zones on agar plate with emulsified polyethylene succinate (PES). The film of PES disappeared within 6 days in liquid cultures at 50 degrees C. The strain HS 45-1 was also able to degrade poly (epsilon-carpolactone) (PCL) and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) films completely within 6 days in liquid cultures. Basing on the results of phynotypic characteristics, phylogenetic studies and DNA-DNA hybridization, strain HS 45-1 should be assigned to Micorbispora rosea subsp. taiwanensis.
