Hydrolysis of ecovio FT, PBS, and PCL by Ple-tan1, Ple-tan2, and Ple-solo. For each plastic type, the smallest peak area for each degradation product across all experiments was assigned as one. The ratios represent the fold change from the smallest peak area across all experiments. The products SuB (succinic acid + 1,4-butanediol), SuBSu (succinic acid + 1,4-butanediol + succinic acid) and BSuB (1,4-butanediol + succinic acid + 1,4-butanediol) were detected from PBS (blue line) growing cultures; 6OH hexanoic acid (6-hydroxyhexanoic acid) was detected from PCL (gray line) growing cultures and BT (terephthalate-butanediol monoester) and T (terephthalic acid) were detected from ecovio FT (red line) growing cultures. Each ratio was calculated using the average of three replicates.
