Degradation of various chewing gum ingredients by strains isolated from wasted chewing gums. (a) Heat map representing the ability to grow on different compounds of gum pieces as carbon sources. The phylogenetic tree and taxonomy of the chewed gum isolates based on 16S rRNA gene are shown in the left and right Y-axis, respectively. (b) The strains growth on modified M9 salt media enriched by chewing gum powder I, II, III, compared with the same medium without any carbon source as a control (left).
