Screening, UV mutagenesis, and exploration of enzymatic degradation mechanisms in the highly efficient polyurethane-degrading <i>Bacillus</i> sp. J-11
Strain J-11 exhibits highly efficient biodegradation potential through the secretion of hydrolases and oxidases, which break down the molecular chains of polyurethane. This study has elucidated its degradation pathway and provided a theoretical foundation for future mechanistic investigations and the management of biomedical material waste.
