This review intends to provide an overview of historical and recent achievements in studies of microbial degradation of natural and synthetic rubber. The main scientific focus is on the key enzymes latex-clearing protein (Lcp) from the Gram-positive Streptomyces sp. strain K30 and rubber oxygenase A (RoxA) from the Gram-negative Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y, which has been hitherto the only known rubber-degrading bacterium that does not belong to the actinomycetes. We also emphasize the importance of knowledge of biodegradation in industrial and environmental biotechnology for waste natural rubber disposal.
这篇综述旨在概述微生物对天然和合成橡胶的降解研究的历史和最新进展。主要的科学焦点是来自革兰氏阳性链霉菌 K30 的乳胶清除蛋白 (Lcp) 和来自革兰氏阴性黄单胞菌 35Y 的橡胶氧化酶 A (RoxA) 这两种关键酶,它们是迄今为止唯一已知的不属于放线菌的橡胶降解细菌。我们还强调了在工业和环境生物技术中对天然橡胶废物进行生物降解的知识的重要性。
