Mixed polyamide and polyester upcycling <i>via</i> chemical autoxidation and engineered <i>Pseudomonas putida</i>
Autoxidation chemistry was optimized for nylon and PET fiber mixtures and the resulting small molecules were funneled using an engineered bacterial strain to the exemplary product muconolactone.
