The use of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) has increased widely but PBAT-degrading bacteria have rarely been studied. During this study, we used farm soil (Shaanxi ( yuan Jia cun )) to isolate and identify PBAT-degrading bacteria (Bacillus strains). We then accessed the effect of gro...
