Degradation pathway of polyisoprene in Streptomyces sp. K30. Lcp, latex-clearing protein; OxiAB, rubber-oxidizing molybdenum hydroxylase. Polyisoprene rubber was degraded by Lcp to isoprenoid aldehydes; OxiAB probably subsequently oxidized these aldehydes to the corresponding acids, which can be further metabolized via β-oxidation.
